Went to 350' and waited for the DDs to lose the contact before moving to Periscope Depth and then a 2nd and 3rd approached. 2 more DTTs and they went down.
I tried to get close to the damaged BBs and//or Hvy Cruiser and #4 started closing. Had time to hit a BB with 2 more fish (tho he didn't sink yet) and targeted #4 and fired just 1 fish which thankfully hit and sank another DD.
I then looked for #5 and saw him leaving the area at 35 knots! I guess he feared the American sub but little did he know I only had 1 or 2 fish left and both were in the stern. Then I saved and quit. Mission was not accomplished because I failed to sink a BB even tho 2 were damaged.

I get so absorbed in this great game (SH 1.5 w/mods) I stay up later than I should.

LT,


you raise an interesting point: no credit for damaged ships.

this was important to the USN both before the war and after the war (JANAC). why the geniuses at Ubisoft did not factor this into the design is a mystery. you (we) should be given credit for damages. what can you do, eh? guess you'll have to figure a way to sink the bastard.
