Sloops and Schooners

Brag · 01-13-07, 10:05 AM

The sailing craft are a nice touch in GWX, however they make as much noise as a steam freighter. So I chase the things but refuse to sink them

.

An interesting aside: The Soviet Navy had at least 4 large schooners built in Bulgaria. Disguised as fishing vessels, these wooden boats were actually relay stations for the submarine fleet. Under sail, they could not be heard and the wooden construction gave a weak radar return.

I've let this fellow go

When the war is over, I will ship out on a schooner

If you fire a torpedo you can put it to orbit

:rotfl: :rotfl:

Try it some time. It's fun to watch

Yeah I believe Ref commented on this before
While I think he removed the aud engine the noise is coming from the wakes
Or something like that

Yup, I have rammed wooden boats when I find one in a storm.

I saw one in the middle of the atlantic in a storm once. Mad!
