RN subs in convoys
I've noticed twice now that a Royal Navy S-Class sub has been part of a convoy I've come across - is this normal? Both times the sub was in station on the port side rear-most position.

Yes it is normal in the early years of the war.

Ok, thanks. Just seemed a bit odd that's all! Easy pickings though, they don't tend to need a second shot!

I recall an amusing anecdote featured in an edition of Navy News a few years ago.
A submarine signalled to the escort destroyer that 'If attacked, intend to remain on the surface.'. To which the destroyer responded 'So do I.'. Amusing.

Ahhh! Matelot Monthly! I know it well! At least they usually get the RFA/HMS prefix the right way round eh?

If you've GWX installed you'll also notice the later inclusion of BB's which is also realistically accurate.

Troopie,
Sorry, I should have made it clear - I'm running GWX gold. |

Wait till you find an enemy convoy with a type IXB in the lead ship position. He didn't last long when I attacked the convoy, and the front escort came back on the hunt for the intruder and found him there.
