Why does the Clemmson destroyer convoy escort in the first individual mission suddenly go under as though hit by a torpedo?
That's what's just happened to me as I was dogging the convoy after having emptied all my forward tubes.
Never fired a shot at the at the four-stacker, yet down she went.

I have seen DDs sunk by there own depth charges,and sunk by there own planes too.
Are you saying they turned on each other?? |
That's what I am saying.
In the final training task (convoy attack) the destroyer escort and armed trawler escort always enter a
Schlagfest and the trawler always wins. They've been doing this since I first started playing SH3 vanilla and they still do it in GWX 2.1.
Yesterday, however, I witnessed the USN Clemmson DD sinking during the first individual mission that reconstructs Operation Paukenschlag off the US easterrn seaboard.
I'd fired off my for'ard tubes at two tankers in the convoy than had gone into silent running, periscope down at 20 metres in the very shallow waters, pursuing the convoy at a distance whilst waiting for my tubes to be reloaded and night to fall. Before sunset I rose to periscope depth to take peek at the convoy: the DD was going down fast and nearby was the other escort, an armed tug, which is the scenario that I have long since become used to in the final training mission.
