I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I'm on 7 September '39, off the coast of England. I discovered a huge convoy, composed of 3 liners, two big one (maybe medium troop ships, maybe large liners) and a small one, three freighters I think of around 4000t and a bulk ship. All this it is not protected by any escorted and all ships are unarmed. Now, I only have a small amount of ammo and only one single torp (). I received specific orders by BdU to not attack liners and follow the London Naval Teatry, which says that if a ship it is used as an auxiliary vessel it can be sunk. If the liners travel in a convoy, are they auxiliary vessels, confiscated by the RN or simple liners? If they are simple liners, I'll have to surface and engage on the account of anti-sub actions, but I'm not confident in catching the liners and put a torp in one of them, they can travel quite fast, and I've not enough ammo for both of them. I this case should I leave them be and concentrate on the freighters?
