On encountering a Passenger liner off Spain I surfaced as it was an Italian ally. As we came abeam he illuminated my boat with a huge stern mounted searchlight.
Having just recently run from a successful attack on two merchants I knew a Flower was still chugging our way at 10 knots. Beiing pissed at the idiots illuminating our boat I ordered the Flak guns manned.
Taking control I laid into the Searclight with a twin MG but to no effect. We were only a few hundred meters abeam so I couldn't miss.
Needless to say the searchlight did not go out even with multiple strafings...
So are you sure you can MG them...
Certainly using the DG and eliminatng the superstructures does turn them out but I find using my HE ammunition of waterline shots more to my liking than superstructure. The light MG's should turn of the arclights but so far they do not..
Have tested this several times now...
