Hedge Hogs in SHIII?

Late 42 iirc but don't have a computer in the house atm to check.

They have carried them since the initial release date of SH3.

In fact, one of the first pre-release videos ever released for SH3 back in 2005(?) shows a destroyer launching hedge hogs.

You're pretty much guaranteed to see them in 1944 on.

However, by the time they get them, you should have homing torpedoes.

If you get into a position where they are able to use the hedgehog against you, you are probably done for.

One strike by those guys might not sink you, but it will force you to rise to 180 meters or more, making you easy pickings for the depth charges.

By 1944 you better have a belly full of homing torpedoes or fire from extreme range at convoys to avoid detection.

Personally I load up with the magical homing torpedoes and goad the escorts into chasing me.
