I wonder if the AI in Silent Hunter 5 codes armed merchant cruisers to behave as warships, or merchants? I am pretty sure Silent Hunter 3 has them coded as merchantmen, so they always try to escape from your submarine...

At least according to Names.cfg they are treated like warships, though I'd suppose their AI would behave like capital ship and not an escort (i.e. not try to hunt subs but engage surface ships only). The above might also have been a bug with ship roles in group (my memory is fuzzy on specifics, but there was a problem in SH5 if ship assigned as convoy commander got sunk and there was no fitting candidate to take over commander role).

Very interesting, thanks for that tip. Eventually I plan to mod in armed merchant cruisers of WWI and WWII as full-fledged escorts, because they had depth charges and were supposed to act as submarine hunters (although they were not good at it).

In WWI some big ocean liners also had DC's - one U-Boat got attacked by an American ocean liner off the UK coast late in the war and was knocked around by its depth charges - but escaped.

From the previous post...
Only external torps and the weather is getting worse.. Damn!!

Then Fritz rubs two cells together... Some Schnapps and a few whispers and we're off to the Faroe outer island inlet.


As snug as a flea on a dogs ass... we're there and reloading torps during the day time too.


Time to leave before we're spotted.
