Yeah, even the merchants shoot lots of holes in me if I surface near them. But if I shoot at them from 3-5km in the middle of the night, they usually don't shoot back.
However, if there are any escorts still around, they come steaming at 35kn and fire from rather long distance.
Yesterday I found a lovely convoy with like 50 merchants and 6 escorts. I stopped 10 ships without sinking them, and then I hopes for the convoy to sail on, which it didn't. If I would have had to sink the ships, I might have managed to sink 4 ships - a big difference...
