Just another question

Early 1940 GWX, I sink a couple of merchants that when they went down their bow hit the bottom, making their stern stick out of the water, cool. I got out of their sight and ran into some DD’s that chased me, I gave them the slip, surfaced and was just cruising along when I just happened to be on deck when I spotted the ships with rear ends sticking up, we were heading right for them……….probably would have sunk me.
Question how long do these things stay like that:hmm:

I'm with Brag on this, but if in shallow water they could be like that for days. I have seen that. I also ran into the damn things

i will to go back and check the depth,,,,wasn't deep
but i was asking about how long in the game would they be there, i would have thought as soon as i lost visual with them they be gone

If you go around 35 - 50 km away they will disappear
Within that distance they are still rendered

I don't know about in the game but IRL it's possible for ships to stay like this for years!
