Not strictly true,have read many books writen by well known Kaleuns,Teddy Suhren,Wolfgang Luth,to name but a few who go on to tell of they're convoy attacks where 1 eeL results in a fireball that engulfs the ship,they're descriptions resemble something out of Dante's inferno and yet an attack on a convoy in GWX results in tankers that require multiple hits with barely a flicker or flame.Just finished a convoy attack and I have to say it bare's little or no resemblence to anything written by eye witness accounts 2 tankers hit,1 gradually sank after quite awhile,the other hit twice and marched on as if an elephant was swatting a flyno drop in knots or anythingYou would have got more flame out of a candel in a hurricaneStrangest thing was,some time earlier I hit a costal merchant,it went off as if it was loaded up to the gunnals with gunpowder,it was there one minute,gone the nextIts all very strange,and doesn't seem to bare any relation to what the ships might have onboard.You read in many books about seamen not wanting to crew certain ships because of what they have onboard,Iron ore and such like,they sank like stones and crews hated them! And yet when you look in SH3Cmdr to see what is on the list of your sunk ships,the one's that should have gone down like hot bricks lingered the most!!!!Something is definately not right
