You´re welcome, mate!

GWX will be out soon, so you get even more some nice ships to sink.

Reinhard Hardegen: "I had assumed that I would find the coast blacked out. There was a war on after all. But ships were sailing with their navigation lights shining brightly. I waited until the ships left New York then I would sail behind them. I waited until they were in forty to fifty metres of water, then I would sink them."

from The Mammoth Book of Eyewitness Naval Battles.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't attack passenger liners, of any nationality, regardless of the year.

You do realize many of them were converted to use as troop transports, making them perfectly valid targets?

Not trying to be a jerk, and I do understand your line of thinking, but I'm just putting myself in the mind of a Kaleun. I doubt they would have let a valuable target like that go.

I do agree, the Brits did use liners early in the war to move children from England to Canada or the States. The U-boat captain that sank the City of Benares was very shocked to see children in the water.

Terrible story. Don't let Hollywood hear it, or they'll distort it to the point of vomiting.

No matter what side you are on, unfortunately in war sometimes the innocent pay the ultimate price whether its from a torpedo or a bomb from an aircraft.

GWX is comming out soon and there will be loads of wonderful ships for killing. As far as the liners are concerned I fire at everything. We are at war and we do not have time to be soft. Sink them all I say

Exactly, unless I see a big RED CROSS on the side of it.

Nope, just Hollywood.

As for the liners, they could be carrying troops or supplies just as easily as civilians, so I say take them down.
