Gee huevo, that one shot looks like a tamahawk being launched off a battleship.

"A Date With Destiny"

Cruising just shallow enough to keep the radar up.

I don't know how it's going to turn out yet, having to much fun looking at all the eye candy :p

wstaub, your better off with Jpeg as I went and made myself a cup of coffee waiting for your screen shot to load.

Nice shot, I can not tell the difference from that one and SH3 of the good lady.

Remember the USS Tang?

This happened at night, on patrol 2, in fact this was the result of the FIRST TORPEDO of patrol 2...I had a merchant lined up in the darkness and decided to give her the gifts contain within tube 1.

When the torpedo fired it banked to about 30, with the target at about 45 and heading slow this didn't concern me.

Untill a minute later.

Except the Sargo lived, and sank it's target.

I hit flank speed and fired tubes 2,3, & 4. 2 & 3 exploded prematurely, 3 exploded so close that it enshrouded the Sargo in it's spray....4 hit but ran late, before 4 even hit I was on the merchant with the deck gun determined to get something in my patrol aside from...myself.

Yes, the torpedo rudder apparently jammed hard starboard and it almost completed a perfect circle....untill it hit my Sargo class midships.

The only gameplay enhancing mod that I was using was incidently enough the 25% more powerful torpedo mod, and this was with a Mark14 torpedo.

I made it all the way back to port at flank speed, sank another ship with the deck gun, and amazingly noone died.

Also managed to get a Purple Heart incidently enough...

That must've been an influence detonation because a Mk14 on contact should've just rip the sub in half.

Tronics · 05-30-07, 05:36 AM

It should of done that anyways, isn't that where the fuel tank should have been?

In the first patrol the Swordfish took a shell directly in the Tube 4 door...luckily I was out of foreward torpedos when it happened.
