The destroyers seem to follow Rules Of Seniority and The Law Of Tonnage.
The Schnellboats seem to do likewise (at least we outrank, and outsize, some-one).
The merchants could all be renamed Kamikaze Maru, and seem to lean toward The Law Of Tonnage, unless they encounter a destroyer, whom they always show respect.
The auxilaries seem to always be drunk.
If you attempt a proper port to port passage with some of these folks they'll try forcing you onto the beach (en.sp.).
Made friends with a destroyer CO. When he tryed circling me from starboard aft I hit Flank Speed and hugged the coast. As he tryed using his superior speed to pass on my port side I followed the shoreline which curved right. (I had remembered getting cut off following a similar move after a previouse patrol).
Now when I come back from patrols we have races!
Now I always look forward to seeing this guy.
