Hello everyone!

Been a proud owner of SH3 for about 6 months now, but I reg. on here just a while ago.

Just wanted to drop by and say hello to you guys.

I must say too, this game really rules, especially along with some mod added features. So I want to share great thanks to Ubi and all you modders out there.

Currently running IuB, I'm doing a new fresh career with the 7th Fl. hoping I will last many patrols and bring loads of tonnage to the bottom.

While still chatting on here.. Erhm.. I would be glad if someone could tell me what in earth was going on in a former patrol I was doing lately...

(RUB 1.45 enabled) In mid 1941, I was on a patrol and were cruisin' NE of the "Azor Islands" when I got a message about a convoy nearby. I was heading on peri.depth towards a good "ambush" position whilst the convoy were closing.. Undetected I raised my periscope (this was during night in hard weather) and I managed to lock on a few merchants firing 3 torpedoes on them..

An english coastal merchant were hit midships and sunk like a stone. Second torpedo missed, however the last one hit a C2 Cargo with a Netherland flag, and the ship became crippled in the heavy sea.

At this moment, I were down in the deep, silent running, hiding from 2 english search-light ships of the convoy. (Don't remember what kind, but they are equipped with search lights, a single front deck-gun and 2 rows of depth-charges, quite small ships)

While hiding, I free-cam the crippled C2 Cargo just waiting for it to go under.. When I all of sudden hear a bang.. And a whizz from a shell. The C2 Cargo slowly is being highlighted by one of those english search-light ships and to my great confusion, another shell goes of barely missing the C2, fired from the search-light ship. A few more rounds is being fired towards the C2, however no one of them hits. Seconds after, still in the spotlight, the C2 cracks open midships and sinks.

I got no tonnage from this C2 whatsoever, and it's wreck were painted blue in my Nav.Map.

The Netherlands is regarding to the Friend/Foe list, a foe from early 1941 and on, if I'm not mistaken. This occured when they were expected to be foes.

From what I saw, those english search-light ships were actually firing at the crippled Netherland C2 Cargo, even though it belonged to the convoy.

Anyone seen anything like this before? Why such behaviour?

I would be glad to hear your opinions.

Have a really nice day everyone!
