Now try and sink that Jap sub!

I made a Single Mission to enter a Secret Jap Sub base and destroy a bunch of enemy subs. After many hours of creating the mission, I found out while testing that the devs didn't let you sink Jap subs at all. I put 4 torps in one and there was no damage at all. I tried it several times to no avail... Jap subs are magic. :o

Remember "Run Silent, Run Deep", you are supposed to AVOID Jap subs.....

JIM

But remember Hunt for the Red October? There you hunt for the other sub. :arrgh!:

yea the sub in that pic was invincible too
put six torps in her:yep: all she did was sink to bottom and disappear from radar:damn: never showed any damage

Hmmm.. Mine didn't even sink. Made a mission with about 4 Jap Subs docked. I put several torps in a few of them and they hit, exploded, but no damage, and they didn't sink. But they were in about 30feet of water at dock, so maybe that's why they didn't sink. Still, that's all wrong, there should be damage, some sort of explosion, and then sink.

So, right now, Jab subs are just eye candy in the game. :damn:

Yeah, I keep looking for the Japanese boomers, but I can't find them. Maybe I should check under the cap.

Sarcasum noted.

Maybe when Sergbuto gets his Jap sub working, we will see some good
sub action....

i wish it was AL SUB!:-?

however it doesn't actually die....took 5 torps to sink it, and I launched another 6 into it as it sat on the harbour seabed. No boom. It just sat there smoking and looking back at me like James Dean.

Hmm... I think I only put 3-4 torpedos in mine. It's those titanium hulls! Damn hard to crack.

I promise - Titanium Boats had nothing to do with this!!! :rotfl:

lol....hmmmm in that case i shall write a letter to the council. I want titanium torpedos. :rock:

but really i don't think it can die properly...no crashy boat symbol thing happened on the map, and it stayed targetted in my periscope (and most dead things don't). I guess sooner or later the crew'll get bored in there and leave.

btw hi all...New to this sinking stuff sim, and do rather enjoy it :arrgh!: this forum has been invaluable in learning how to actually play it, and learning why odd things happen. Much :up::up::up: from me.
