Why Leigh Lights rocks?
Because that means if you meet a standard
Liberator Mk. VI it will only carry
- 8 pcs. of 250 lb depthcharges
- 3700 rounds of 0.5 inch gun ammo
and it will
not carry the usual 16 pcs. of 25 lb rocket projectiles

Excerpt from Tactical Instruction 41:
11. When a Mk.II A.S.V. Blip fades and the operator is reasonably sure that it
was caused by a U/Boat, the following procedure should be adopted, except (a)
at night and (b) on convoy escorts:-
(i) Switch off A.S.V.
(ii) Leave area to a distance of at least 20 miles.
(iii) 20 to 30 minutes after leaving area, return without using A.S.V. at
height which will ensure maximum degree of surprise.
yeah! if only
that could be done in GWX!
