Decoys (Bold/Sieglinde)

Ford Prefect · 03-09-09, 07:34 AM

Hi all, my first thread.

I'm sure you're all familiar with the decoys in game (BOLD/Pillenwerfer) and their effectiveness one way or another. I read recently of another decoy called "Sieglinde" which seems to have been a combination of BOLD and an electric motor. It would be launched and cruise along at about 6 knots making plenty of noise while also changing depth getting the attention of the escorts, allowing the sub to escape.

I was wondering what possiblity there was of this being put into the game at all? or is it something to hope for in a future Silent Hunter?

Probably more a case of something to hope for in the future I should imagine.

Certainly would! I imagine they'd be expensive to aqquire but if you're in a nasty situation being hunted and depth charged it would be well worth the price if it allowed you to slip away while the enemy depth charge a decoy to bits.

I've only had the BOLDS in my last two patrols, but they've already saved my butt! I usually play early war careers, but I'm trying to take my present one as far as I can. December of '42 and already it's a whole new ballgame.

The moving decoys would be a nice touch, but we'll make do with what we got.
