Good thinking, except that merchies don't have sonar equipment, so they do not know you are pinging. They were much too noisy while underway to detect pinging without equipment. They might possibly detect pinging if stopped, but then they could not maneuver away.:rotfl:Either way, they are helpless victims to the deadly sonar acquisition technique. It gets my vote for the most fun you can have in Silent Hunter 4.
