I don't bother with anything smaller than a Destroyer. Unless it pisses me off...Like the contact report that I got one day where there was 2 convoys in my AO. When I waited until night and shadowed them, THEY WERE ALL FISHING BOATS! EVERY SHIP IN THE CONVOY!
It made me so mad.
I sank 6 of the darn things with my Deck Gun and I tried to ram another because I ran out of Deck Gun ammo.
I ended up getting like 10k tons on that patrol when you add the other ships I sank.
