Ok, little photo recon of Yokohama port. On my way out, I find an anchored midget sub and attempt to shell it with the deck gun, (Dead of night, all subchasers miles away) but I waste about 20 shells and appear to hit sod all, too much water and wave action. So I head off, and let it have a MK14 at about 500 yards, 4 feet depth. Booom. Midget sub shoots out of the water, flys spinning about 200 yards through the air, bounces off 2 harbour walls and back into the water and then...... rights itself and sits there bobbing. What the hell is it made off?!?! Can I sink it? Similarly full size Jap sub next to it takes a Mk14 at about 8 feet deep dead centre, not a scratch! Can I actually sink these, or have the Japs discovered how to alloy Adamantium and are keeping it secret? Just down the coast two anchored cruisers only took 1 MK14 each (Ok I saved and loaded till I got the setting just perfect, but still...) and I'll be damned if a midget sub is tougher than them! or do I leave them and go waste my last couple of torps on some poor passenger liner.....

Arrgh.

Those subs are just 'eye candy' they do nothing. You can't sink them, they don't move, they just sit there.

Thats a shame, was kinda hoping to bag at least one of everything by the end. Least I destroyed the seaplane on the sub though. Oh well.

Thanks.
