Yeh, white star shells. I dont recall seeing RED star shells in SHII. Both SHII & SHIII have white. Right? :hmm: |
Right; but in SH3 I think only destroyers fire them. SH2 had every ship fire one straight up when one got torpedoed at night. It was pretty cool.

COOL! Even if only the stricken ship fires one, it's an awesome thing. Actually, having only the stricken ship fire one makes a lot more sense; that way the escorts know who was hit.
I also agree with your assessment of merchant searchlights. While it looks good in the game, I'm sure the Convoy Commodore doesn't want all of his precious merchants suddenly saying "Here I am! Over here! Shoot me first!"
