I'll be honest and say that I dont really see that much of the sod hunting me. I try not too use external camera except for seeing the explosions or looking for screenshots. If i see a warship the scope goes down immediately and it just gets classified in my head as destroyer and filed under s for stay away from

I have the utmost respect for anybody who can differentiate a river class from a black swan at an angle

thanks mate, i thought i was the only one to be like that... are there actually differences in the toughness of those depth-charging suckers?

Call me crazy but I really don't like messing with Convoy escorts. And as long as I don't get arrogant they can be put down. As to the target validity, if it's flying an ensign of a hostile nation it's a target. Valid or not I don't know, I'm not a therapist and haven't had talks about self-esteem with 'em.

Don't get me wrong. My normal modus operandi is to keep well away from anything with DC's. Only if I can;t get out from under em do I think about having a pot shot and only then if they are on their own.

The best way to kill a Black Swan is to ram into it's side, disabling it, with your U-boat stuck in it's flank. Then quickly board it with your crew, punch the captain in the face - John Wayne style, then poke him in the eyes a few times and make the rest of the officers bunk with Bernard for the rest of the voyage. Sonar operators, make them listen to heavy metal at full volume for a few hours = end of their careers.
