it doesnt sound logical for slow moving merchants to fire flares or starshells to further give away their position and virtually guarranty they be sunk as a result.

i could understand if merchants fired a starshell over the attacking sub to aid the escorts in finding you and firing on your position, is this what you are talking about?

i think it could be done by linking a starshell to the merchants guns so as they detect you they would fire a starshell, after all, unarmed merchants would never mark their position with flares while a sub was still active in the area and if they had no guns they couldnt fire a starshell anyway. maybe switching a merchants actions with a destroyers actions after detecting you would give you the desired result. hmmm, but then maybe the merchant would move in to attack you.
