I know Q-ships were armed with Depth Charge racks and large guns, but hiding them in SH5 would be difficult, I myself, do not know how to hide ships weapons.

But maybe other modders might have more input.

It is a good idea though.
I could add DC racks to a Merchant ship, but he will have difficulty find anyone without a sonar, but I could add a sonar.

Yes, exactly. They basically were old merchants loaded up with camouflaged weapons and a had a Royal Navy crew on board. They would wander around solo waiting for a u-boat kaleun to approach it on the surface trying to save his precious torpedoes. I wonder if you could have it fire weapons but not have the ship models render the deck guns visually. Basically, you would see cannon fire but no cannon, unless they could be camouflaged some other way. Once they were firing, it wouldn't really matter once you're desperately pressing the crash dive button. In other words the incoming fire would be enough to convince you the cannons were there. The next thing would be randomizing the chance of coming up on one and limiting them to their historical years of use.
