Since getting GWX I don't find a lot of lone ships so after a failed patrol I headed up the channel looking for trouble. We found it in an ASW trawler we decided to attack it on the surface. I set the gas torpedoes to fast and 1m and the electrics to 1m depth and launched everything at 3000 m no hits and she turns towards us to take us on.
I armed the deck gun with warrant officers and open fire at 2000, missing over and over while they light us up with a searchlight and firing wildly.
we take a direct hit to front quarters and the diesel engine room and I have to stop fighting to get damage control going. I put adolf on the flak gun and start raking the trawler with 20mm trying to knock out the searchlight while ordering the 88 to fire at the bridge. I check on the diesel situation and come back up and the trawler had sunk! nice david vs goliath battle.

You fired a salvo of eels at a trawler that was 3000 metres away http://imgcash6.imageshack.us/img231/1076/shockedvi8.gif

Torpedoes cost renown? I better read the manual again!

Jimbuna was pulling your leg.

But I see a suicidal tendency here. :cool:

haha.
"basic torpedo load will cost you nothing...."

I could have attacked from underwater , it was kind of suicidal but I thought our deck gun crew would be better.

No.....not in exact terms. http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/crazy.gif

That salvo you 'wasted' could have led to you being awarded a substantially higher amount of renown though http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/pirate.gif

I don't usually mess with them For the tonage and the problems they can wreak, they are not worth it.
