The parascope submarines are NOT indestructable. The is nothing actually submerged about them. They are just a tiny, parascope shaped ships that suffers the same damage model problem as all ships: they need to be directly hit to suffer damage. Even with timed fuses, it makes a difference if you hit the ship exactly, as "misses" that actually go off just as close do nothing. Parascopes are just too small to be hit exactly. I think all ship DMs need to be tweaked so that very near misses, and in most cases gunfire, do more damage. IIRC, Oleg said at one time that the damage model for ships was as it is in order to make the battleships, etc. harder to sink. But I think by now we should all have a healthy skepticism for what Oleg has said in the past about limitations...
