YES!!! I torpedoed my first Elco

[U-104]

I was in the Med and I got surrounded by a group of destroyers and Elcos. I had one acoustic torpedo left in the stern tube. I decided to fire it blind, then I followed it with the external camera. It sailed around for a couple minutes trying to make up its mind what it wanted to hit. Then it locked onto an Elco and sailed underneath it and the magnetic detonator went off. :rock: The explosion pulled the Elco underwater. It spun around about six or seven times and then popped back up to the surface and sat there for five minutes and then sunk! :rock:

You should see what torpedoes do to a U-boat. It also gues under water (sucked in) and than it comes back... However, I had to put 3 (!!!) torpedoes into Type21 Boat before it sunk.

I tested a lot. :hmm:

Wow! 3 torpedoes to sink a Type21?! That doesn't sound very realistic... HaHaHa, someone notify Beery... :lol:

And I thought I was a bit overkil when I torpedo'd fishing boats.

What I was doing is simply reenacting what Allies did after WW2 when they sunk a bunch of these babies lined up together. One torpedo had to be enough, althoughI'm tempted to torpedo them using magnetic detonator - perhaps that might do the trick. The way the power of the explosion knocks it out is amazing though.
