Will SH5 mimic the black gap and the escorts limitations?

Well said Ju 88.

The lone DDs performing offensive patroling, and the unattached Hunter Killer Groups, should be attempting to hunt us to destruction. That means widening their Search Pattern if neccesary, NOT giving up after xx minutes.

The Escort Commander is not judged by the number of uboats sunk.
Nor whether he sinks any uboats.
He is judged solely on how many merchants arrive at destination.

That ain't to hard to achieve is it?

I've been reading up on Uboat.net, my question is how many DC did they carry and (specially later in war) how many would they drop on a U-boat?

Well said Ju88! Sometimes when there are three escorts attacking me as I try to creep away, I think what a great time it would be for another boat to attack.

New thought. Wouldn't it be awesome to stumble on one of those rare ocassions where you come across a convoy, only to notice that all the escorts are well aft, bombing the bejeebers out of another u-boat?

Depending on the ship, as few as 12 or as many as 36 early war, and up to 120 later.
