Did a quick search and didn't find any threads on this, so here I go.
I've just started using GWX (just got a PC good enough to run games on it again, after my laptop motherboard fried
) Just started a career. It's 1939, so I mostly get to pick off lone merchants, but I have encountered two convoys on two separate patrols. The weird thing is that in both those convoys there was a (presumably) British T or S-class submarine as last ship in one of the columns.
So my questions are: Was it normal for submarines to join convoys? Did it ever happen at all? And, does it have hydrophones? I was making my escape under, and out behind the convoy, running silent. From what I could gather the escorts weren't close. But just as I passed under the last ships in the convoy, I got pinged and all hell broke loose, two destroyers double teaming me.
