As I said, due to limitations on my time and longstanding hardware problems (i.e. lack of memory) I've been unable to play SH4. I'm also usually pegged as a hardcore realism nut, which is partly true, but mainly I get my back up when people start bragging about how good they are while playing the easiest levels But back to realistic fantasy (or fantastic reality): I think your idea is a great one. Multi-player is not really my thing, but I used to play SH2/Destroyer Command a lot, and sub vs. sub sounds like a fun diversion. I'd probably come to hate it, but only because I'm sure I'd stink at it. But I hope you can make it work. The more variations on a given theme, the more people will buy the game, which translates into more development by the developers, and more advances for the future.

American subs sank 9 axis subs in WWII. Don't know what the records for the British and Dutch are.
Point is- it's not something that is a recent development

Allied Submarines did sink some Axis subs in WWII, But this was when they we're on the surface using regular torpedoes, pretty much all of the Sub weapons in WWII (Even the Acoustic ones) we're geared towards ASuW rather then ASW

Dutch subs sank at least three: O-21 sank U-95 near Gibraltar, Zwaardvisch sank U-168 in the Java Sea and Dolfijn (?) sank an Italian sub (Malachite?), the last is from memory so I have to check to confirm this one. In the case of U-95, both subs were on the surface at night; in the other two, the Dutch sub was submerged, the Axis sub on the surface.

But this was still done using regular ASuW Torpedoes. Right?

I'd assume the british sub used standard torpedoes. Both subs were at periscope depth as far as I've read. Hmm, there is a documentary about this episode, called "U864 Hitlers last deadly secret". You can find it on the VeohTV video browser.

They Had enough data to commit to a firing solution and fired a full
spread, for anyone who has learned to shoot manually it should be apparent that luck probably didnt play into it too much. Dont kid yourself about RN sub skippers, they tend to be very very qualified historically. M |

Unsinkable U-boats!
The U-boat was actually schnorkeling and the sound of the diesels attrackted the british submarine. After 30minuntes the masts of the U-boat were visible and plotted. The british fired 4 torpedoes at 1000yds and got 1 hit!
As a matter of fact in WA mod in SH3, I had spotted a submerged wolfpack along the coast of Portugal (noise first then several periscopes). I plotted and fired against one U-boat to see what will happen. The torpedo hit near the steering rudder but the u-boat didn't sink!
