Forget the escorts/planes- even the merchants are dangerous now!

The transports are dangrous from day one as hey are more heavily armed than most escorts.

You can still take the ships on the surface if you take out the main deck gun on them ASAP. Then it's just a matter of keeping out range of small arms (1500 meters should do)

What if you pulled along side of them (100-300m)? Could they still get you?

:hmm: I DG battled once with an small merchant that bad ass mofo downgraded my HI to 75% wit his single cannon...

So I now shoot first his cannon to pieces before I start to sink the bugger.

You can do the same with the corvettes. Shoot the cannon off and it becomes a fishing boat.
