Other uboots?

It is said,that there are none in SH3. And yet... I started having doubts, after I attacked a convoy, got countered by escorts and than strange thing happened.There were two corvs, out of which, one had no charges at all. Second had,so I got bombed,but whenever the other made runs over me there were no wabos. It had to spend them somewhere,right?
Second attack,other convoy. I approach, only to find a seeking destroyer. It was rather unlikely,that she was looking for me,but I have hidden. When I resurfaced, there was a freighter on fire on a horizon. I didn't fire a single shot. Who did then?

Aircraft or weather could and probably did cause the damage.

In GWX there are AI U-boats scripted into some of the theatres of war also.

They sound better than stock SH5's miserable excuse for AI.

The AI in GWX can't submerge or fire torpedos but they can and will attack ships with their deck gun.

SH3's was no better. The lesson here is: Never play stock.

I have not seen a U-boat, but I have seen a convoy that had 3 burning ships in it.

I also was tracking a convoy one time when a new warship suddenly appeared- a British S-type submarine surfaced and joined the tail end of the convoy! I fired a torpedo at it, it missed, then the sub accelerated to 16 knots and dived. About 15 minutes later it re-surfaced at the back of the convoy but I was now well behind and had no torpedoes left (and I would have had to wait until they were out of sight before surfacing and racing around them to try again).

That was cool though, I really was hoping to sink that damned sub!
