No More Deck Guns For Sampans!

Fishings boats are relatively small! So small that torpedoes are useless! However, the fact is that each fishing boat takes around 20 rounds to sink!
Those rounds are better used on the surface, sinking merchants or warships!

So from this point on I'm skipping the small fry!

Hi there, I have not had this problem. One shot one kill, but I fire from say 2000 yards or less. Also someone suggested you are better than your crew. I always fire the guns manually.

Shoot the SoB with machine gun and then ram it.
You have to shoot the craft before ramming it to get credit for sinking.

I restarted my campaign in Silent Hunter and sank two Sampans with the deck gun Manually on the first patrol!

In SHCE, Another 3 Bit the Dust!

In same folder as SH1-Sounds-Frank Kulick.zip. I found the stock sounds that came with Silent Hunter! I'm still not getting speech in Silent Hunter but do in SHCE!
