unfortunately, the simulation that we play does not simulate human reaction to being shot at. by that i mean that a skimmer-skipper is likely to have second thoughts about chasing a submarine once he realizes that he is being shot at by a 3000 lb explosive device. we have learned from ships logs that pursuit was slowed or broken off once the skimmer-skipper was fired upon or...one of his fellow skimmers was fired upon (or sunk).

there is something sobering about facing-down a projectile and not all captains react the same as a coldly programmed, computer simulator. in the SH4 situation, we must sink the skimmer to end the chase.
