Status: offline 		Yes I had non damaged shots which didn't hit,
but I think a damaged especially float damage such would stay on surface...don't know if code takes in account damage.

Subs sank enemy subs IRL – although the Allies had a far better record than the Japs. Allied subs sank at least 19 Jap boats. AFAIK Jap subs only sank one Allied boat: USS Corvina (SS-226).

In the Downfall type scenario Ph and I are playing we've had 3 or 4 sub on sub sinkings per day on occasion... To be fair thats because we both flooded the Yellow Sea with subs to support naval operations at times.

OT (because not the PTO) pop quiz - Which sub is believed to be the only one to sink another sub while both were submerged in WWII.

Indeed it is (and thanks for the piccy) - the way the commander plotted the sinking of the German sub makes for a great story too .

There is a BBC Timewatch programme about HMS Venturer and the hunt for U-864. It is on YouTube:
