No, I arrived as they were engaging the ships with their flak cannon, and they sank two ships during my approach to the convoy. I saw them attacking, and I saw them sink two of them.

Sorry.....I guess I was confused............

Two days into my fourth patrol. It's 9 January 1941, and I've left St. Nazaire heading to BE59. My lookouts call out 'submarine spotted!'

Now, as they aren't calling it out like they did for the S-boat, I assume it's one of ours. And it is.

One of ours.

One of three, to be exact.

Three of them, on the surface, slicing their way, flak-engaging, through an unescorted convoy. (Yum!)

I've some screenies of them if anyone's interesting in seeing them. For now, I'm back to the fun!

(This is GWX, by the way)

Back OT...you are right Albrecht, there are friendly U-boats in-game and they do engage the merchants, but only on the surface and with their guns

@ jim: Do they respont to radio reports you send out, like the Luftwaffe does, or are they just "random attackers?

Not 100% sure on that one Seth mate, but I don't believe they respond to radio reports :hmm: ....sorry.
But here's a picture of em attacking a convoy

_Seth_ · 01-03-07, 08:10 AM

Thanx jim! BTW: Cool shot, mate! Mesa like!!

Jimbuna · 01-03-07, 08:13 AM

Cheers Seth

...got loads more but don't wanna overdose folk...it's better if they come across them 'naturally' like

They should respond to radio reports
Not 100% sure they do
You find find some attached close to convoys and others roaming the seas

I make reports of convoy in hopes of some brethern showing up because I do not want to die

. No luck yet but the proof is in the pudding with the pictures in this thead

My buds are out there somewhere.

very cool impressive

What about Serg's submerged u-boats with virtual torpedoes? Are they in?

Huh, I haven't seen a single sub in-game myself, except from lone ones near ports.

01-03-07, 07:53 PM

On my second Patrol I was shadowing a Convoy, waiting for better weather... Ive contacted BdU and told him about the Convoy... Days later I found a huge U-Boat symbol on the map, just ~ 50nm behind the convoy...

Later Ive attacked the Convoy, weather was fine again, but a Destroyer pushed me down to 200m...

I was playing with 100% realism, so I wasnt able to use the external camera... After this Patrol, I will never, ever go out without the external cam again!

I was listeing to the Destroyer and the Convoy. Suddenly Ive heard a explosion (100% sure it was a Torpedoimpact, but I fired no Torps...) seconds later Ive heard a huge secondary explosion (oil explosion).

Im pretty sure that Ive listened to a U-Boat attack with those "virtual torpedos"...
I was stunned... I thought this cant be, because they cant fire real torps... but im absolutely sure about what Ive heard - and I know my sounds!

After that, and a sinking ship, I didnt hear anything else like this except a short gun battle - now I guess the escorts detected the sub(s) and sunk them...

Amazing!
