Hedgehog Mortars

Hey everyone - I stumbled across this on Wikipedia today. Has anyone ever thought to mod these onto some of the British ships? They seem pretty nasty!

It may be that I've been fortunate enough not to run across one yet in SH as well...

I just got killed by them last night in a convoy attack September 1943, nasty weapon. All 4 escorts that attacked me had them.

Hedgehogs came with the stock release and in Fact were featured in one of the first game play teaser videos ever posted online.

Here the hedgehogs can be seen around half way into the video.

This is one of the first ever seen gameplay footage videos featured at E3 in 2004... Almost 12 years ago... Unbelievable it has been that long.

I remember when I got my first copy. Like it was yesterday

Edit: you'll have to note that hedgehogs came into use in 1942. In SH3 they will not be commonplace aboard many destroyers until late 42 early 43

By 1944, it's rare to find an escort ship of any class that *doesn't* carry one..

Wow that video is something else! You can see how even back in 2004, game developers dressed up their games better than the typical release quality. (I noticed it, in particular, with some of the explosion effects.)
