Let's put it this way: if a kaleun sank the HMS Hood, would it really matter what he did the rest of his career? Of course not. |
Well, now you are talking apples and oranges. Hood isn't an escort, it is a national icon, and a capital ship, albeit an aging one. And, for game purposes, you can see it as a 36K ton merchant, because it reacts like a merchant. So of course you sink it.
When I say "escort" I mean naval ships that carry out anti-submarine warfare against you in the game. DDs, ASW trawlers, corvettes, etc. As I said, going after them is like going after the border collies rather than the sheep.
