That's quite a tug boat you have there, Mr. IJN.

I imagine that scene would have been like the one in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, where the wizard was trying to convince everyone that the rabbit is dangerous. "But... huge sharp teeth.... LOOK AT THE BONES!!!"

Yea, some of the tugs in TMO are armed and set to "veteran" skill level which makes them a bit too accurate with their deck gun(s). Fire from longer range is my suggestion for the future.

Tugs are also often near shore and shore guns are mean and accurate. I'm not sure if the tugs have DG's in TMO...been awhile since I've seen one. I think some of the Fishing Boats have machine guns. I changed many in RSRD to have have them, plus added many shore guns and search lights.

Great story.

"what could possibly go wrong?" ...is usually always followed by something going wrong.

Yup, I've sunk a number of Jap tugboats and have yet to see one with a DG mounted on it.
