well who says im much of a convoy attacker ?
ive done like 3-4 convoy attacks in all the time ive had SH3
4-6 months:rotfl:
but it would nice for once to do a convoy attack where you can slaughter them
and shoot the survivors (depending on my mood)

After 1943, the depth matter is solved

According to Blair's Silent Victory, this may have been the result of a US congressmen (Andrew Jackson May) blabbing to the press after a fact-finding tour of the Pacific. The press reported the story (what a surprise) which essentially said , "Don't worry about our Subs. The Japanese are setting their depth charges too shallow."

Lockwood, obviously upset, took a shot at May stating, "He should be pleased to know that the Japs set 'em deeper now."

He also stated that that probably cost us 10 subs and 800 officers and men.
