merchant/hunters

Is this correct? I just discovered a small tug, loaded with a heavy armament of guns and even a dc rack. It looks ridiculous, a huge cannon on top of a small pilothouse. This is my first patrol with a new career, in Sept 1939. In the museum everything appears to be fine, but out on patrol I found more than one of these crazy looking merchants. My current installed mods include IUB 1.2 new version , with the RUB 1.44 defaluts, SHIII commander 2.3 and average joe speed /sound mod. Can anyone help me out. Thank you.

Armed tugs - yep, they exist. Be careful of them!

I'm not sure whether RUb included my last bit of work for Ops, which added a lot of such light auxiliary patrols around Britain, but it shouldn't be surprising at all - historically, hundreds of light vessels of all sorts were deployed on armed watch in coastal waters. :hmm:

i believe it did CCIP, unless SHcommander did it somehow... those are the only 2 things i have installed capable of adding these

run into a lot of tugs N of britain, so sometimes i get annoyed n blow one up... i think i needed a change of underpants after that first shell flew over my conning tower lol

I had troubles with small tug too, my uboot was sinked in November 1939.

Now I'm very careful.
