Huge european liner?
 

Anyone found this beast yet? I have a mighty playtime of 120 hours or so, most of it in career. Ive seen about every ship, but never a liner. I know Jefmajor found one, but has anyone else? are they incredibly rare or am I really unlucky? I want to shoot torpedos at it :<

If you're playing the Stock (Vanilla) version, they're pretty common. You just have to go to the right area, usually the Luzon Strait/Tokyo express line or the Straits just south of Japan. When I was playing stock, I began running into them every other day in those areas. I think RFB has them, though not nearly as often, can't quite remember though.

I recall running into two of them once in a convoy somewhere in the Bismarck Sea bound for Rabaul. Must have been delivering a division there.

Wount say to much, but holy cwapz there is alot of lifeboats when one go down.......(TMO)

Eh, guess Ill turn my mods off and check out the luzon. I really wanna see one of these beasts :yep:

There's 1 or 2 running around in a convoy to Truk in FORTS and there's 1 going from Tokyo to Surybia in 1944 escorted by a type 36 dd but she's doin a fair clip something like 36 knots

If you use RSRD mod, it doesn't use the Euro, guess it wasn't historic, so not added to traffic.

True. Japan had a handful of converted passenger liners that were used for troop transport. Mostly she relied on converted cargo ships. However, none of them were of the size of this Euro-liner beast which looks like the Queen Elizabeth.

Bumped into one of those a few days ago. Heading North off the West coast of Luzon, trying to make good time for the strait.

She may outrun my sub, but she can't outrun a couple of torpedoes!

This ship was my first actual kill of the war...and my first successful kill with Manual Torpedo data entry!

My game of course is stock 1.5, I cannot seem to mod it at all, though I did just recently get access to screenshots finally!

Happy hunting!

That's a very nice way to start off your manual targeting. :yeah: :yeah:
