One of my troop carrying convoys stumbled upon a single submarine - during the turn she sunk 2 ships outright without a single Depth charge touching her! And then she even administrated Coup de grace to the damaged ship left unattended! Clearly insane!

You said a single SS. I see SS Gunard and SS Seadragon. There are more interesting encounters than this historically.

IRL, Gurnard sank Aden Maru, Taijima Maru & Tenshinzan Maru for approx 20,000 tons out of a convoy heading to Halmahera and survived approx 100 depth charges from the escorts.

Agree. Completely borked. This shows an American torpedo hitting, and exploding. Even in '44, that is obviously insane.

As you probably guessed, this combat report was "manufactured" to represent the attack of the USS Gurnard against Take-Ichi Convoy

Looks like 4 xAPs and an xAK escorted by 2 DDs, an E, and 2 SCs ... and the sub hits two xAPs and the xAK! I bet the escort commander got assigned to an ACM at Paramushiro Jima!

Can you manufacture the B-25 attack on Japan from the Hornet?

LSTs mod has the B25 raid capability built in for the AFB. Played it as AFB but did not exercise the option/attempt. Currently re-playing that mod as IJ. Kevin
