And he survived the war and is still living. You could ask him.

Yeah, well, is he playing GWX?

I'd be willing to bet he had his fill of submarine adventures. After all a depth charge attack was alot more "real" for him than us.

He would make a kick-butt modder for this game, talk about realism!

Otto Kretschmer had the right idea, but I take it further. "One shell, one ship." I haven't had any success yet, but I know my stratagem is sound!

Oh you must have some kind of nuclear super shell from krypton and ahead of all other commanders.

I have approached lone merchants @ night on a calm sea and taken them on with my deck gun, despite them being armed. If I can get close enough I target their gun first, even with my AAA which are capable of quickly destroying a gun mounting.
However, if my first shots are not placed accurately and she has a chance to shoot back, or if I failed to spot a smaller secondary gun then I have lost entire gun crews that way.

In real life I doubt I'd play with the lives of my crew that way, but in-game it's a real rush!
