Remember the Royal Oak was in the middle of the "inregnible" Scapa Flow, they wouldn't have had the doors closed and not where near ready for any action. On the high seas they would probably be ready for something like a torpedo attack, with the nessecary precautions put in plase :yep:. I took out a Revenge class (HMS Resolution) with three fish, one midships, second under rear turret, the last hit her propulsion area knocking out two props. Sank in about 20 minutes.

If I spot a BB, I will go for it, even if there are other ships, mainly because:

A- Its a BB!!!
B- Lots of renown, nice tonnage and a kick in the teeth for the Royal Navy lol :smug:

Sunk the Nelson with two eels, magnetic pistol 12 mt depth -- salvo with 3 degrees deflection. I was playing SHIII + GWX 1.03 realism 90% (i. e. full realism except for esternal views, which I don't use to gather extra info, but just to enjoy the show).

Two were enough for the Revenge, too: it seems these battleships aren't that tough. Never had a chance on other BB's, though.

Gute Jagd

Buhring

the biggest ships i come across are destroyers, i found the hood by chance... north atlantic

maybe i saved the bismark?

Magnetic under the Keel shots are the most effective against Capital Ships. Two under the keel should do it. Impact ones may take 3-5 hits on the same side. Yesterday in one patrol I was lucky to come across HMS Hood in very rough waters and had to hit it with Six torpedoes using Impact Pistols only to finally sink it, all in a space of two hours, so its not that I just wasted extra torpedoes. I waited till I was sure it won't go down and then hit it one more time. HMS Nelson I luckily came across on the same patrol (as part of a large Convoy, travelling very slow) with only 3 torpedoes left, one front tube, two rear (IXB). After some death defying maneuvers I hit the Nelson with my front torpedo on the starboard side and two rear torpedoes on the port side (all impact pistols due due to very rough waters). Unfortunately, that didn't do the job and Nelso sailed away limping to one side.

On other occasions ofcourse I have sank Nelsons with two under the Keel shots.

BTW, I am playing GWX 1.1.

1 eel, set for mag pistol.Hit her in the powder room.

Any ship that's hit in the 'sweet spot' is sinkable with one. The hard part is finding that elusive 'sweet spot' http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...ies/pirate.gif

I fired 4, one detonated early and 3 hit. Nelson sunk after 2 hours.
Here you can see 9 destroyers searching for me and Nelson is slowly sinking (to the far right).
