but in case of a submarine with deck gun? would be considered a raider?
in case of SH3s the convoy is easy to be taken out by a single uboat if enough torps + ammo are available... like I describe in one post under the following topic:
http://www.subsim.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=50525
I'm all in favor of a change... a mod that make these things a bit harder... specially scatering the convoy in all directions at their max speed (or group speed)
I'll post a few pictures I'm with this convoy in the last 7 hours of game ... now I'm dealing with another DD
that appeared from no where
(probably SH3 convoy finally got radio coms and they sent a mayday call) :rotfl:
I'll post a few pictures later on under above link
I got my VIIC's hull at 45% due to navigation error (medium merchant ram my uboat when I was avoiding this DD)
