Sweet. I don't shoot at the ships in the harbor if I'm there for a photo recon but I hunt for my tonnage in harbors. I try to slip past the destroyer (if there is one) & get nice fat modern tankers sitting still. I was playing yesterday & went into a harbor, the DD was sure I was there but not sure where so he pulled up in front of me about 800 yards out & shut off his engine with me looking right up his 6 o'clock. I pumped a single MK-10 into him & then followed him around while he slowly went under. I got tired of waiting & surfaced to finish him with the deck gun & AA guns.

Then I went in & used my remaining MK-14's on the stationary large modern tankers. I got two since only about half of my torps were duds & with my last one I took a chance & set the magnetic exploder & got my second tanker with one torp. I thought that was great, I went back to Midway & refit & headed to the Gilberts to patrol & after a long time of seeing nothing, I decided to try to slip back into Truk. I got pounced by a patrol boat of some sort, took some damage but I shook 'em off & low & behold what do I see sitting there in front of me @ just about 500 yards? A Yamato. Took about 5 or 6 good torpedos to sink it spread across her from bow to stern with most concentrated in the middle third of the ship. Somehow I managed to get home too.:rock:

With me still learning the intricacies of sub tactics & manual torpedo targeting I was pretty pleased with myself after that seeing as how it was accomplished at 100% realism (& I suck at it).
