yeah cargos are a b*** to sink
I found out that hitting them on various spots works better. I go for 1st bellow the smoke stack 2nd one 10m before the bow and if needed the 3rd nail in the coffin goes in the middle of the ship (betwen 1st and 2nd shot)
But still- I once used 5 eals and the C2 was still afloat and GOING 10 knts- took another 10AP and 15 HE to take her down in the kingdom of davy jones

tankers on the other hand are easy in my experiance- 1 or 2 in the middle and they break in half or stay afloat but burning like a torch and later finish their life in a massive fireball:arrgh!:

However,if you're using NYGM TW is not applicable.
First:-the range given to you by the WO is removed,as historycally he could not give you precise range,just short-medium-long range.He could use the UZO to find a more precise range,but with the more realistic visual AI in TW you will be spotted in day light by the time you get close enought to find a goog reading on the mast.
Second:historycally,an U-boat coul be trimmed to a neutral buoyancy only for a short period of time.So that's why TW uses the "anti humming bird" mod, wich will make the sub sink slowly if dont keep at least 1-2 knt.So it gets harder to just sit and wait for the target to get in front of you,to gain the perfect firing solution.
Other than that,the tutorial is full of invaluable information,like te short-medium-long range on sonar......:up:

Von, or anyone, perhaps you could upload a similar video that shows how to do this same process under the stricter limits of NYGM? I've really been trying to get the hang of that mod, and I just can't. :(

these videos are great, i think they'll really help me to play the game on 100% realism. not sure how id go about it with destroyers breathing down my neck but ill cross that bridge later:up:

Great video, especially for one learning the business like me...
BUT the background noise from the engines is way too loud... It's hard to hear what you're saying half the time. There are parts I played over and over again and I still couldn't make out what you were saying and since I'm using this as a tutorial...

It was basically the same thing, how to intercept a radio contact then actually plot the attack position and finish them off. It's pretty much required reading no matter what level of realism you play at. You can read the whole thing at the following URL, or print it out and use it daily like I do!
