Does anyone have a screenshot of an Influence torp breaking a ship in half similar to SH3?

Please post or link it here.

Thanks!

Cool screenshot azn. :cool: I've only been on a few patrols and haven't gotten one to break in half from a Influence Torp yet.

Normally happens when you hit and destroy an ammo or fuel filled compartement, the explosion of the ammo load is the cause of the ship breaking in two halfs.

Yeah I've had three DDs, one tanker and 3 merchants snap in half.

Only done it once so far to a merchant, was strange, two torps in the stern crippled it, I surfaced and started plugging away with the deck gun, big explosion and it snapped in half. The stern went down like a shot, but the front half just sat there for a 2/3 minutes.

The best way I have found is to install the IJN dimension fix mod, do a search, and only going two feet lower then the listed draft. This I've only used in the Imperial version. Hope this helps.

Finally got one! The torp. depth and area has to be spot on.

On Medum Split Freighters try a shot just a little forward of the command deck. Default torpedo settings. If it hits but it doens't break you're unlucky.
