another cool thing is that as long as you are on patrol, they stay there... so you can sail 100 miles away, and on the return passage if you happen to pass by a location where you sank a ship they will still be there.
also, i have noticed that sometimes there wont be any survivors. and the number of survivors in rafts seems to depend on ship size
I hit an oil tanker and it exploded BIG TIME and there were no rafts.
a few days later i hit a tramp steamer and a large merchant.
tramp steamer let out one raft.. but the large merchant let out 4 or more.
finally i submit this for your consideration. what happens if over the horizon, a ship is sunk by weather or another u-boat with its guns or whatever, you have no knowlege of the event until you pass by and on the one in a million chance see rafts :hmm:
although i think you have to witness the sinking for the debris to appear.
