Did someone notice that ?

I played the Uboat German campaign ver 1.5 and stuff...

There is a mission (randomly I guess I picked it) where you have to prevent a task force leaving from SW Australia to Ceylon. In this task force (it has a special icon - big red insignia - marked on the navigation map) there are two Heavy Kent class cruisers, a light cruiser and 5 escort destroyers. After a long battle I finished them off, but when I got rid of the escort, I've noticed, despite the fact that one heavy cruiser turned back and headed right to me (I wet my pants because I was at the surface with the U Boat) THEY DON'T USE THEIR BIG GUNS !

Bottom line is that the "LUX" warship models are just for the....picture, they don't ACT at all !

Is this the way the SH4 was supposed to be or am I missing something ? I noticed in some video where were battles that the big warships FIRE their GUNS !

Can anyone clarify this issue for me please ?

Simply put if they saw you on the surface two kent class cruisers
shouldve shared credit for killing you. theres something wrong.

Ive tried this mission twice.

First time the convoy never appeared on the map.

Second time I couldent get into a positon for attack. The convoy was steaming at what I calculated at around 20 knots.

So yea uhhh I never noticed this

Might be better off posting in the uhhh... proper section of the forums to get a better response.

I'll keep searching for encountering battleships, but my guess is that they are just for the show there...I advise you to try too and share your opinions after

Thanks anyway mate...

Come on guys!!! NOBODY really noticed that ???????...
Or who knows...maybe you didn't notice because nobody is interested in hunting warships or they think as I THOUGHT, that is advisible not to be on surface when you have a warship filling your periscope view ....lol
I still wait for your feedbacks; be a good chap and tell me what you think please...
