[REL] Run Silent, Run Deep - The Campaign

Had an interesting patrol yesterday: I was commanded to drop supplies for some troops in a hidden bay. I arrived directly at the location (not 50 yards difference, i swear), but nobody was there. I waited a bit when suddenly i heard "radar contact, medium range". I dived and hid. A fast (and small) enemy ship drove EXACTLY to the location i had been waiting the whole time and circled around looking for something.....

It was a trap!!!!

Not sure if that was scripted and what role RSRD plays in that, but it was so incredible. Awesome.

edit: Ran into a giant convoy today... As I was too afraid of the escort shield I shot 6x Mk14's at slow speed at the maximum range, three hits, three misses (I couldn't see sh** due to fog, night and rain. Sank one ship with ~7000tons and damaged another one, but it got away. Interestingly the escorts did NOT find me and I could simply sneak away unharmed...

One question, though: Is that escort shield realistic? It felt somewhat odd...

edit 2: duh.. here the pic:
