Wow, my 6th patrol was the best patrol ever!
It's February '43 and USS Drum has already sunk 20000 tons of merchant shipping on that patrol (I play at 58% realism) when I stumble over a Task Force with 3 BBs (Fuso and Ise), 2 carriers (Shokaku) and 2 cruisers. I line up for a shot and all my 6 bow torpedos smash into the Fuso sinking her immediately. I dive to 250 feet to avoid the DC that must surely come but those destroyer captains are either lazy or incompetent. So I rise back to PD and launch my 4 stern torpedoes at the 2nd carrier. The TF zig zags so only 3 torpedoes that were aimed at the middle of the carrier slam into her bow. The carrier takes a lot of water and goes down like a rock.
On that night I earned the Navy Distinguished Service Medal and I was given the command of USS Balao.:D
This game really rocks and I can't thank the devs enough for this awesome game.:up::rock:
