If you look at the related vids it seems that they can "sink" somehow not sure how it knows its hit or do they use the "honor" code and push a sink button? If they had a PT that had little mini torpedoes that fired you'd totally dominate.I bet you could mount some .22 barrels on a battleship not tell anyone and then boom give them full broadside.

The other guy would just be shocked thinking WTH?:har:

IIRC what usually happens is there is a section of the side which is made out of a material like plastic or some such which can take damage from the 'shells'. When enough damage happens then:
