I generally use two torps for ships at anchor, once in Scapa I found 3 Fiji's so I fired two torps at two of them and one of them sank quickly. On my wait out I fired my rear one and the other sank :D

Scapa is much harder in GWX, those blockade ships are tighter now. :D

But if you get detected in there you are pretty much dead.

As you can see pretty much the worst weather possible but that helped me. I got detected and DC'd but managed to lose them without serious damage. Not sure on the actual ship becasue at the arming distance i couldnt see it so i just had to fire blind, 31,000 tonnes though, revenge i think, and all with my trusty IIA.

I just went there, but I wanted to see who else.:up:

I can't play, but since it's an improvement on what was already done, and since they said so, what is there changes historically. Sometimes the fleet is in, sometimes there's nothing.

I just restarted my Scapa-attack, to see whether I could get more tons.
So I again sank the Fiji, and right after it a C&D class and a Troop Transport (worth around 20k tons in total).

But the respons of the present war-ships (several more destroyers) was poor! :o
All they did, was to hit their searchlights, and fire a few flares very random.
Nobody moved, no attempt to raise anchor and rev up the engines.
I waited in the neighbourhood for several hrs (had to see if I really sank all my targets).

Ok, it was pitch-dark, with a dry thunderstorm overhead...but I would have expected more from the Brittish Navy, in '42.

I didn't even have to escape on silent-running...
Great attack-run, but a bit disappointing still.

A Revenge class BB, but the weather was so poor I didnt even bother, I went to Loch Ewe and sank 3 BBs and a CV instead :cool:
