Marky Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Q-Ships- these ships were special merchant ships armed to suprise and defeat uboats wen they were on the surface, and they had success with this will they be represented? Merchant Raiders - these infamous ships, such as the Penguin, Comet, and the very well known Atlantis, had quite a few successes 1 of them, i believe it was Cormorant, sank the Australian Heavy Cruiser HMAS Australia! any thoughts on these? Representation of Merchant Ships - we all know the merchasnts are there, plying their trade, but, where are the ships? we cant see them perhaps u should have to "build" a convoy and set it out with escorts within the convoy? and they can be tracked and attacked? any thoughtsx on any of this?

Retributar Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Q-Ships!...that's WW1 stuff!. By WW2 subs surfacing to Pound away at merchant ships was not the going rage anymore...and besides...allied sub detection means had made even getting near convoys a near suicidal effort for the subs!...much less a sub having to worry about being attacked by merchant ships.

Shaka of Carthage Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Scale of representation is too high to have speciality ships like the ones you mentioned. Personally, the convoy route(s) in SC are a great idea, but suffer from a poor representation of how subs were used. We don't need counters to represent the Merchant ships, we just need to represent the convoy routes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
