Defenseless harbours & suddenly respawning ships

Hello from one of Europe´s largest inland islands!

I´ve been playing SH5 for a couple of weeks now and was quite happy with the German Ubi-forum. Lately, that one seems to be a little idle which brings me here to the mighty SUBSIM Radio Room!

IS EVERYONE ALRIGHT IN HERE???

Since SH5 is my first subsim since the glorious AotD I am seriously impressed by some of the graphics and weather effects - and, not surprisingly, appalled by the incredible bugfest and confused by the sheer number of necessary mods.

All you modders out there: you´re doing one hell of a fine job.
Imagine a six-feet-five German with dreadlocks down to his butt crawling through the dust and bowing down in front of you - ´cause that´s what I am doing right this moment...

Okay...down to business. My observation/problem is the following: being quite an aggressive player and not wanting to search the vast ocean for the enemy I started my vanilla/stock- as well as my Schleichfahrt (with IRAI)- campaign by sneaking into many ports and sinking a lot of enemy ships there, even in neutral ones like Amsterdam and Bergen.

I have to be careful going in there (but not toooo careful, it´s still ´39) but once my first torpedo finds a target and I would expect that all hell breaks loose over me - nothing happens...

The destroyers (by the way, far too many modern and expensive fleet destroyers patrolling the ports - that´s a job for all that´s old and small, not the brand new Tribals...) turn towards the sound but go completely still and idle. At first, I just slaughtered all these poor zero-knot-victims but I decided to leave them. It´s just not...sporting...

Is somebody working on a mod fixing that issue?

And by the way: going into a harbour, sinking all eight ships (far too many large tankers there!) only to see new ships respawning out of nowhere doesn´t add to the atmosphere either...

What´s YOUR experience with attacking ports?

Cheerio,

Alex
