Default Subtender sinking

Try sinking a sub tender, it sure has a big crew in comparison to the other ships I have sunk. And you can't even see all of them is this picute.

What mods are you using or is that stock. I use to see a lot of lifeboats full of people in stock, but seldom see any in TMO, RSRD.

My guess is it takes too much time to program them in.

It's stock.

In stock, anything bigger than a Takao will land you ~15 lifeboats or more. In TMO I haven't noticed as many but there's at least 10 for the capital ships, usually.

By the way, did the shark get programmed into TMO?

Yeah....now we know why we never see any AI subs sailing around---cuz their crews are all hiding out aboard the tenders.

I've sunk many capital boats with TMORSRD and seldom do you see more than one lifeboat full of people. I suspect it's RSRD as I don't think TMO messes with the stock traffic layers or ships to any degree.

I remember once sinking 3 liners in one convoy in stock and had about 40 lifeboat kills. Sorta miss killing them.
