Armed tug boat in GWX

Bloody Bill · 01-22-07, 02:24 PM

Quick question. Is there something I have'nt figured out about Armed tug boats in GWX? I have twice sunk the ships they have apparently been escorting, and they sure seem to have an excelent ability to keep just above me as I try to evade. They do not appear to have ASDIC or a hydrophone. I more easily evade destroyers. How is it that running at silent speed at 80 meters and constantly reversing course does not do the trick?

I think tug boats have hydrophones. If I'm correct they have the same (well almost) chance of spotting you as a DD.

not to mention a tiny little rowing boat like that can turn far sharper than you too
