So far in each of my patrols I've seen convoys of 'Neutral' ships escorted by British warships. It was an Irish one in my last patrol! I cannot for the life of me see how this can be called realistic. Add to that the range and accuracy of sonar, which every escort I've met so far, has been equiped with makes me question the realism of the game. DCs wich are more accurate than those in SH II. I don't remember it being like this in the basic SH III.

I'm seriously tempted to roll back to the original game.
Ahoi

I guess you looking at HN12
3 British, 15 Norwegian, 8 Swedish, 1 Danish, 2 Finnish, 1 Estonian

Very realistic

Otto Kretschmer found same convoy and sunk the HMS Daring
