What's your favorite target?

[meduza]

Is there a ship that you particularly like to sink? :D Besides the largest one afloat, of course...

For me, it would be Coastal freighter. It's only 1800t and small renown, but there's something in a way she explodes that makes sinking her a pleasure :rotfl:

whale factory ship or large tankers

[ppk]

Elco torpedo boats. :cool:

... but seriously, the whale factory ships are a good sport. :arrgh!:

[meduza]

Yep, Whale factory is number two on my list :up:

[nikbear]

Fast Freighter,the one in the community units mod with all the blue barrels on the fore deck(can't remember the name:oops:)whale factory ship is always good for a good burn-up,anything really,I'm happy to sink'em all:arrgh!:

[meduza]

Elco torpedo boats. :cool:

Only if I ram it. :lol:

[kiwi_2005]

Anything taskforce, carriers, battleshhips, rarely come across them but when i do it pretty much makes my day. If i see a convoy on the map thats close by but i get message about a taskforce that looks like its 2000 miles away i'll chase the taskforce!:arrgh!:

[Task Force]

Whale factory ship, Thy have a sweet spot for the one eel one kill thing.:p Or the large modern freighter.:yep: Armed tralwer on the surface, with the deck gun.

[Sailor Steve]

The one that's in front of me.

[rifleman13]

Anything that is a floating tub of steel over 50 tons and flies a flag belonging to the Allies.:arrgh!:

[={FH}=Paddy]

Elco torpedo boats. - I'll second that - i sent one doing a tripple back flip salto last night and it landed easly 100m for where the eel impacted..........lil blighter flew!! (The way they should):yep:
alternativly, anything that crosses my path is fair game..........:up:

[Kpt. Lehmann]

Ammunition ships! :ping: :|\\

They go up like a fireworks factory.

[Cezbor]

All of vonDos large liners and of course ... whale factory ship:up:

[jpm1]

i like the Liberty for the way she turns upside down before sinking and any ship that could sink that way in a more general way

[jpm1]

yeah Vondos ships provocate a particular sensation to me each time i spot one :ping:

[Red Heat]

Everything wich can be consider valide targets, return to base with no torpedos or amunitition aboard, mission complete, and my crew alive and in good health! :up:

[Graf Paper]

Lifeboats. http://static3.filefront.com/images/personal/g/GrafPaper/128692/ewavfvtsht.jpg

[Hanomag]

Whale Factory Ships, Modern Tankers, Ammunition Ships, Empire Freighters. :arrgh!:

Breakfast of Champions!

[Murr44]

Large Merchants. I've only come across one Ceramic-type liner & one Cyclops Collier (that ship was huge; almost scary!!:o).

[Brag]

Large freighters, one eel up front and 10,000 brt in the log :D

[VonDos]

mmm :hmm: :hmm:

Enemy ships! :up:

Every enemy ship (better if over 5000 tons) is a good target ^^
Thanks to who said "VonDos ship's" XD it's a pleasure :oops: :D

[FIREWALL]

A Bus.

[bigboywooly]

Scharnhorst
Cant believe its refloated for the next time I leave port

edit: A Banana Split. Mmmmm :D ;)

[Paul_IronCoffin]

Pretty much anything historically, though I now find I turn my nose up at anything less that 2,000te: up-scope, have butchers, check out her tonnage, then wander off again. [Imagine my disappointment when intercepting a 'warship' only to find it's an armed trawler!] Pah!

Shame really since I love engaging warships because of the risk element, but have yet to see a battleship and the biggest so far (four times running the war over) is a C Class Destroyer. Pah!

...there's always bigger fish to fry :D

[evan82]

Destroyers.

[Task Force]

Ya know, Ive found those armed tralwers easy to pick off with the Deck Gun.:lol: Just keep 90 degrese to them.(so there is veary little for them to aim for.:yep:

[TarJak]

I like anything that I can torpedo or hit with a DG.:arrgh!:

[crazypantoufle]

Destroyers, everytime i sink one of them, i feel i take a revenge for all my fellows who were sunk. When the dogs meet the fate of the sheeps they were supposed to protect!:arrgh!:

And among them, heavily armed fleet destroyers like Fletchers or Tribal class, because sinking them can really weaken Royal Navy and US Navy in their war against our surface ships and our japanese allies.:cool:

(By the way, hello to everyone, it's my first post! And sorry in advance for my bad english,as i don't come from an english speaking country) ;)

What I can't believe is that they haven't figured it out and caught you yet.
:rotfl:

[BasilY]

Large merchant, large tanker, Ore Carrier, whale factory ship, These are the ships I target in a convoy. They usually go down with 1 hit.

The AMCs and heavy cruisers are pretty sweet too when in convoy, only they are quite rare late in the war.

[swahyward]

Elco torpedo boats
Tug Boats
#1 - fishing boats

[Shkval]

Destroyers, Troop transports...

[Gargamel]

Yet again someone resurrects a four-year-old thread for no apparent reason.

[Gargamel]

Yes, we don't mind necro, as long as they are constructive and contributive.

[TwoGamers]

Troop Transports are great. Easy tonnage and I hate tankers. They. Burn and burn and burn but don't sink:down::down:

[The Dean]

1. Lone destroyers out on patrol.
2. Tankers of any kind. They light up so pretty.

[sharkbit]

Anything unescorted and unarmed. :arrgh!:

If I had to choose- Whale Factory ships.

Good point Sharkbit, and for sure you will have a medal from the Seasheaperd too... :D

[TheDude107]

Black Swan class. Keep running into them around the Eastern ports of Britain in my current campaign. Name sounds cool and since its early 1940 in the campaign it's a bit scarier then the average V&W.

Just got pinged by sonar for the first time by one in a Brit port. He was wounded in the front from a torp while coming straight at me. Shouldn't have been loading torpedos that close to a decent port. :know:

He eventually went past me wounded as I crept along. I fired off an aft shot at 700m. Boom! He stopped and his nose plunged, evened out for a bit, then the tail raised and my crew shouted.

Was a good feeling. Then I sighted a Granville type freighter in front of me, lined up magnetic shots to go off at .5m under the boat and fired two torpedos. Both torpedos launched but the event cameras went away quick. Couldn't see trails in external.... Maybe I used electric was my first thought. I looked under water and my bow was probably two feet away from a GWX mine net. :timeout:

I just backed it up slow and called it even. Long post but fellow mine haters might enjoy.

[Son of 79]

I have to say battleships first, and a close second would be large tankers. I often risk my boat to get at them, launch every viable torpedo, then crash dive in a erratic patterns to avoid the inevitable depth charge response.

[Wreford-Brown]

[Teh_Diplomat]

Nothing says appropriate like a 3 tube Salvo launched toward a sloop... :haha:

[desertstriker]

any aircraft carrier battleships as a second

[Cybermat47]

Small tankers of 3000 tons (This is from SH5, sorry)
There's just something about the way they sink!

[TabbyHunter]

Large Merchants. And easy 10k for the logs, but if I ever spot a whale factory,...I swear I'll put every torpedo I have into it.

Edit. Whaling is just wrong, so I'd single a whale factory ship out even if a better target were to present itself.


Also, I've just come across the single ship I wish I had not. RMS Titanic (VonDos's). Some 46k tonnes...And I cannot fire on her.

[Jimbuna]

Careful or you may find yourself posted to the eastern front :o

[TabbyHunter]

After my most recent patrol, a 40 day cruise with only 8k tonnage sunk? Yea, if I wasn't still the most successful skipper of the early war, I'd send myself there.

40 days, 27 of which were pure hurricane. Spotted a convoy that had either the HMS Nelson or her sister Rodney protecting it. 315 meters, and unable to shoot...Oh I was angry as I shadowed the convoy into Liverpool.:down:

[Jimbuna]

That's a rough experience but does add to the immersion of the game.

[TabbyHunter]

Oh yes. Normally after 5 full days of storm, I'd head for port, but sighting a battleship? In open water? Oi!:/\\!! I had hoped the storm would break as we entered the Irish Sea. Nope. Kinda just sat around then as a weather broadcaster.

One day, Rodney! One day!

[GT182]

Any Allied ship is a good target. Never pass up one that aides in the Allies supply. Besides, you could sneak around all over their shipping lanes and wait forever for the "right target". All Allied ships sunk count towards the main goal of all Uboats... "Sink em all".

And read the top line in my sig...... :D

Sink 'em all!!:arrgh!:

I highly enjoy pewpewing aircraft out of the sky with whatever AA I have on my sub.
