What was the date Sniper450? Still June of '42? Early in the war, the "skill" level on most of the escort vessels isn't too high - most, not all. As the "war" progresses, they get more deadly. I do not recall a group like that though, but then again, there are quite a few RGG in the game...

I encountered a Sub Chaser just a little bit ago, and he was rascally for quite a while. He must have had DC cans under every table, stuffed in every toilet and closet onboard, 'cause he kept dropping them on me, back and forth, back and forth. Thankfully, not real accurate, but he was breaking things in my boat... Then he stopped and sat still. There were two cripples up above that I was after, so I thought I'd go ahead and see where the chaser was, and if he was close enough, maybe give him a little present while I finished off the closest cripple... He was sitting broadside to me at 660, just a few degrees off from the one cripple. Easy peasy shootin, but would he sit still? Lit him up big time. I saved the replay, so I'll have to go in there tomorrow and replay and capture that. The boat burned forever it seemed. It was still afloat, fully engulfed, when the little Merchant by him went under... I do like the explosions, fire and smoke in this... oh, and the shells whistling by... among other things...
