I wonder if it was difficult to recruit midgets to man these pint-sized submarines.

Not in FOTRSU. I came across one when I was RTB to Midway last patrol, I was out of torps so I engaged it with the deck gun. Target was too small and I couldn't hit it. Closed the range and opened up with my twin 40mms and that made short work of it.

They are quick sinkable in TMO as well. Watched them sunk by gunfire, depth charge, PBY patrol planes outside Pearl Harbor.

I would not waste a torpedo on them though, best to avoid if possible but at close range deck gun and or 40 MM works.



Last I sunk one off Philippines in 1944...ordered crew to open fire ..using the mod for 40 mm to be a deck gun not AA gun, AI crew let loose a fusillade at her, a solid 5 inch gun hit finished the tiny sub off.

I would like to get them firing torpedoes like other AI subs, would be a real threat but no luck, yet.

pull the plug out :up::doh:
