won't you get in trouble for sinking the hospital-ship?

Some convoys did have designated rescue ships that would bring up the rear, and, if they had the opportunity, escorts would try to pick up survivors. That said, any ship that stopped to pick people up out of the water was an easy target for a u-boat that managed to escape detection and was still close-by.

On a related note, I once torpedoed a merchant and the one behind him stopped right alongside for about five minutes. I was amazed. Recorded in my log that he was picking up survivors, and I let him go.

Sometimes they didn't specially in the misted of a convoy battle with a wolf pack ships were given the order to scatter and DDs did all they could to hunt down uboats. For a ship to sit still while rescuing sailors was tantamount to suicide might as well paint a bulls-eye on your hull...

I've been looking at the various nodes created by the lifeboat mods & Racerboy's effects - it would be a simple matter to spawn a static rescue ship, Sunderland, or Catalina after a sinking to "rescue" the survivors. I could also make it disappear after a predetermined time. That should ease your conscience.

It's just a matter of finding time to do these things.

U-19's second patrol part 2.

Intercept

First Hit

Second Hit

Waiting

Abandon Ship

She's Going Down

Cutting It Close

Return

All in all a disappointing second patrol for the U-19.
One neutral large merchant sunk.
One British medium cargo for 4400 tons.
A miss with my last torpedo on a small freighter.

Type IID the Channel, 1940. Pestered by a patrol boat, so had a pop at it with the aa gun and reported the contact, within a few minutes a couple of stukas turned up:

They strafed the boat with gunfire, then came the real fireworks!

it definitely is!

btw, did you install a different environmental mod above rik007's "SH5-water for SH3" or do you use the implemented xxkm-atmosphere?

You wouldn't happen to have a link to that mod would you? (SH5 water)
I just put on Thomsens water, looks good but I wan't to see if there is something better. (and hopefully in 16k)
