which weapon do you prefer?
Obviously torpedoes... but I use deck gun for small merchants. And, sometimes, I use Flak to destroy all smaller targets, like fishing cutters and so on.

Fish for me. :yep: There is nothing more rewarding than building that firing solution, firing tubes, nervously watching the clock till that calculated impact time, and hopefully witnessing that big bang and the carnage that follows.

Torpedoes.
In Destroyer Command, though, it was a real hoot to have four or five 5" guns slamming shells into some poor victim. Torpedoes were nice there, too.

Deck Gun..........nothing like lobing shells at a merchant especially if he is firing on you.

With GW, I hit a small merchant with 60 HE from the deck gun and it didn't sink :shifty: Usually, I'd save my torps for larger targets but now, with GW, I'm going to have to say torpedos.

Well, my first choice of UGM-84(D) Harpoon Anti-Ship missile wasn't in the list... so I went with my secondary choice of torpedoes.

It was possible, but not likely to have any luck. I was referring to surface targets.
On the other hand, multiplayer games had the destroyers stripped of torpedoes because so many DD skippers tried it.

I _love_ the whizzing sound as an enemy deck gun shell comes flying by. Also, that wicked sound as it hits the water beside you. I always turn and watch/listen to the fountain of water it makes. Ohhh...environment.

I really like the "compressing" effect of the boat it's hit. :up:
