Playing the game I do the same thing all the time. With Operation Monsun running inside a convoy surfaced was a lot of fun. I have been playing the latest version of Fall of the Rising Sun Ultimate on the allied side and that is way way harder to do.
Ok, I guess I misunderstood your earlier post seeming to state Kretschmer and Prien's boats were lost via surface duels similar to the one in the trailer clip.
