What Class took my scalp?

I got no time fanning around with the ID book when a Destroyer comes my way in 1943, to busy trying to shake off the bleeder.

Well stated, sir.

if you are entering 1943 and are surprised by anything, you haven't been playing since 1939.

This should be a tag line.

Sounds like a hunt class to me. They're armed with depth charge throwers and hedgehogs and are not afraid to let loose if they get a sniff of you. One I can get away from, two is difficult, three and I'm writing my will.....

From what I've seen (in game) the Hunt 1 is more of a pest than a problem, but a Hunt 2 is ok and a Hunt 3 I don't mess with those guys... even if I'm submerged... they can smell fear

I don't find Hunts particularly bothersome as a Class, but Hunt III's seem dangerous because they seem to get experienced crews.

IRL, a Hunt I had 40 DCs, and the II and IIIs had 110. All else was the same. So, in the game, any difference between a II and III must be attributed to crew skill and ASW equipment.

Almost no Hunts were sunk by U-boats.
