I was chasing down a merchant vessel it was about 5500m off of my port bow heading away from me. When all of a sudden it burst into flames!! There are explosions, I see stuff flying off of it. Mind you this is in grid AN84, about 60km SE of Lowenstafte.
GASP!! Another U-Boat patrolling my sector?!?!?! Stealing my tonnage?!?!?! I want names! I want ranks!
Does SHIII simulate other U-Boats on patrol or is this just a bug?
Or does the game simulate catastrophic events like boilers accidently exploding?
It was nice to know that I wasn't totally alone out here off the coast of England... I still want those names though!!
