Hello, I found a large convoy headed north, west of Ireland, BE32, speed a whopping 4 knots.
On my 3rd attack I hit an S-Class(854t) down the throat, right where the tube doors are loacated, and the lil' bugger didnt sink. There was some debirs left around the submarine, but no sinking.
On that same attack I was able to put a large merchant(8000t), large cargo(6500t), and with the stern a Flower (950t) under the waves. What was interesting is that the Flower kept pinging even though she was well beneath the waves. Nice touch! Their Sonar operator left the post(or was killed) without turning off Asdic.
Anyway, left the scene for another attack.
4th attack hit the S-class amidships along with another large merchant(8000t). The s class went down very fast.

Weird. The s-class must have closed off the forward torpedo room or else I hit right where the tubes extend from the actual pressure hull.

Total tally for that patrol was 4 Large Merchants(~8000t each), Large Cargo(6500t), Large Tanker(9279t), Flower Class(950t), and the S-Class(854t)

This took place in the evening and morning of Apr.7, 1941. Girds BE32 and AM78

Never sunk an S-class with torpedoes. I have just sunk my first one with my 88mm deck gun at araound 3000m.

I think the reason for this is that AI subs need a tougher damage model in order to prevent them taking damage from flooding and sinking whilest they are submerged, remember ther is no actual Damage model for Ai subs in Sh3.
So i can cause problem for submerged boats.

I've never managed it with one eel either. One usually incapacitates em and then I finish em off with the deck gun :arrgh!:

Ive noticed if you hit them either right behind or right in front of the sail they go down with one torp.

The only time I sank an S class was in Lerwick with an AOB of 90 and impact torp, went down in one with an awful bang..... :arrgh!:
