Any merchant dumb enough to be sailing about in the middle of the night, without it's lights on deserves to be sunk. Theres a war on!

:arrgh!:

Thanks for your concern, but not to worry. I didn't mean, by my post, that I'm going to actively seek out every merchant running without their lights (even though they are breaking the law and it would serve them right;)). As Steve said, it would be, at the very least, a waste of a precious torpedo (my little Type IIA only has five, for crying out loud:damn:). I will be prudent and try, as best I can, to ascertain the nationality.

I do appreciate all of the advice I've been given!:know:

I hear you! They especially deserve to be sunk if they happen to be a large cargo ship or juicy tanker, right?:03:

Thanks for the link. I will check it out. I like the idea that in RL, the captains had some other clues as to nationality, besides only the flag.:) It seems like a reasonable rationale to balance the use of an "enhancement."

Distance to land might determine choices
 

Based on the course and distance to land, you could shadow the contact until dawn or a weather change. The only worry I'd have with that is if the contact deletes at the last waypoint.

Anyone had that happen?

That seems like very sensible advice. The name of this game is PATIENCE.:damn:

Thanks!

More often than I'm prepared to admit :DL
