Convoy Tactics Question

Walruss · 01-29-11, 05:51 AM

I'm running SH3 commander and GWX3. Heading of for my second patrol in october '39 (already bagged 3 ships on my way in, not even at the patrol zone yet :3 ) But I'm curious as to how well ship visibility is modeled in this mod combo? Can I, for example, lie in wait for a convoy, let it slip around me and then surface in the middle and engage (much like the real thing), or will the merchantmen immediately spot me? Also, how well simulated is ASDIC- will destroyers hear me amongst the merchentmen? Can I wear one as a hat to confuse them? (certainly would prevent depth charging tehehehe ).

What are subsim's anti-convoy tactics?
