Hi guys

I agree 11.7 m under the smoke stack works beatifully, but another weak spot is just ahead of the front bridge :arrgh!: .

Cheers

For those who can't access FileFront, here's some alternative links for the "critical zone charts" as simple PDF downloads.

http://www.3rdflotilla.org/resources...hiffskarte.pdf (German version)
http://www.3rdflotilla.org/resources/sh3_shipchart.pdf (English version)

These are for the stock 1.4b version of the game.

In stormy weather, hitting ships in the bow area often sinks them by flooding of the forward area and "Titanic" sinking...

Corsair - I agree with you on that one in high seas hit the bow area and the ship will sink quickly due to the flooding effect. Hit a C&D last night in the bows ini rough seas and she sank quickly before a sencodary explosion happening after the crew shouted "She' going down".

I tend to use impact in rough weather but find magnetic a better torp for less failures. Plus if you miss by just a short amount the still can detonate and slow the ship.

Isnt there a mod that would mark these weak spots in the ingame target book ?

This would avoid the effort of pause + shift tab to check this pdf....

:yep:

Yes, in the GWX expansion there is. If you close to within 1000 meters, 90 degrees AOB, and you have officers ar all 3 posts in the command room then you have this feature. You may even need an officer in the torpedo room, but that may not be correct. You at least need a Weapons Officer.

Beyond 2000, go from memory or the pdf.
