Sloops and Schooners
 
The sailing craft are a nice touch in GWX, however they make as much noise as a steam freighter. So I chase the things but refuse to sink them :nope:.

An interesting aside: The Soviet Navy had at least 4 large schooners built in Bulgaria. Disguised as fishing vessels, these wooden boats were actually relay stations for the submarine fleet. Under sail, they could not be heard and the wooden construction gave a weak radar return.

I've let this fellow go :D

Yup, I have rammed wooden boats when I find one in a storm.
