I saw the Flying Dutchman three times in one patrol in the Luzon Strait, and the first time I witnessed a japanese Zero attempting to attack it!:haha:

Oooh! I'm in the Luzon Straits right now! *Sweeps the horizon with his binoculars*

Someone mentioned that the patrol needed to be a long one as well. I don't know for sure, but my patrol was definitely a long one just because I kept getting more orders.
Yeah, Luzon straits!! Keep yer eyes open:ping: for a "Warship, moving fast" and don't waste any torpedos on it. Send some screen shots if you get her.
Good Hunting!:up:
D40

Is it possible to sink her?? I mean, even a blind squirrel can find an acorn once in a while! Talk about a sweet freakin' pic that would be! Really "bagging the elephant!"

I personally would use the "Spray and Pray" method...not to be confused with the "Pull and Pray" method used strictly on port calls! :har:

In real life, can you imagine trying to explain that "Kill" away to command?!
At the court-martial, it would make Capt' Queeg look like John-Paul Jones.
"Yes Sir, The Flying Dutchman. We sank a ghost ship, yes Sir":88) "You're taking my command away?? What For??".... "it was those damn strawberry's...":O:

D40/ Somewhere past midway...
USS Drum

to the right of the island string

Nope she can't be sunk your torps will go straight through her hull and the ship is Nuetral.
I created a single mission just to see if she could be destroyed with the dutchman being attacked by 2 heavy jap cruisers and quite a few GM4 Betty/Torp bombers all failed the dutch man actually crippled a cruiser but if you look carefully her deck guns are at an angle so her guns cannot fire straight.

Since I moved to Win 7 I have problems screen shooting and loading into paint - all I get is a bloody black screen. I wonder if its to do with the fact that 'movement' is taking place?
