After All This Time Of Playing....

[Seminole]

....I finally ran across a Task Force in the open Ocean that was in range....while I still had torpedoes on board that is. :o


Fact was, I dived and tried to evade....going in the opposite direction. For some reason the Task Force did an unexpected turn and so inadvertently crossed my T at 500 meters and a Revenge Class Battleship was just too much of an opportunity to pass up....especially presented on a platter.

As it was it took me a couple of hours to escape the pounding and allow the escorts to clear the area so I could return and finish off the old girl. The first four ells all hit but she as loath to down.

I recall Captain Henry's words to his son Briny from Herman Wouk's Winds of War: It isn't every day you get to sink a battleship!


Amen to that..:yep:

Nice one :up:
Its a pity that in RL they wouldnt have left a battleship dead in the water and sailed off
Still that was to your advantage
Kudos
Rare to come across those beasts in open water

Wow shes a beauty, the only things close to a battleship i've seen is a Hipper Heavy Cruiser anchored up in Kiel, and she was a beauty... :D
