I've been attacked by armed merchants in Dec. '39! I didn't think that was the case. It's now Feb. '40 and most merchant convoys that I've encountered have some armed vessels with them. I'm no history buff, especially regarding sub warfare in WWII, but I really didn't think it was like this at this early period of time. I'm not even in the "Happy Times" yet and can get my butt kicked by these guys. I usually surface to finish off the ones that won't sink but more often than not I have to dive right back down because they're tearing me a new one faster that you can say "what the heck is going on?"!
