Ramming Speed!!

[emaluzer]

I make it a practice of ramming sloops! they sink and have nice explosions, but I dont get credit for them :cry:. Is there a way this can be changed or does a ship have to be sunk with Gunfire/torpedoes to count.

fire a shot first and THEN ramm it ;)

[emaluzer]

will try that next.....sorta takes the fun out of sneaking up on it submerged then surfacing next to it at full speed tho.

Why not just use a deck gun ? :) Well ramming could be a good option against light wooden vessels in heavy seas I guess, but renown for that is not moded to score into your pocket :)

it does count if you shoot a round in it first :up:

Save as much ammo as you can.....you'll probably need it to defend yourself at your war crimes trial :doh:

Hello All,

I've found that once detected and faced with a lone light warship in shallow water, a head-on ram will often either cause enough structural damage to either sink it or slow it down enough to be caught by its initial depth charge (resulting in a critical hit...if it doesn't sink it will break off attack). I usually launch a torp first, but in just case I miss, I have Plan B...you will not get a kill (unless you did hit it and it didn't sink) and will run the risk of destroying equipment on the tower, but at least you will have a great story to tell once you make it back to port.
I've had to do it 3 times, and have always managed to come out alive. All three collisions were against an single escort in years prior to 1943. When I sunk the last one, I savored the sinking of the large tanker and a medium cargo, which were left to fend for themselves, even more than I normally would have...:cool:

Happy Hunting,
