What a fireball! Take a look
 

I've never seen this before. I encountered a convoy. Launched some torps. One of them was at a Whale Factory Ship. I hit it between the first mast and the first superstructre. At first it seemed like a regular hit. A couple minutes later I was checking around with my external camera and saw what happened to that ship:

All that whale oil went right up.

thats what you call a "crispy critter" :up:

good shooting

I also hit another whale factory in the same convoy. It went up in flames just like the first one but I also noticed this dark blue stuff all around it (no not the water). Could it be the whale oil?

"For the love of God, Bernard, GO LEFT!!"
"Which way?!?"
"Go to the side where your motor skills should sit!"
"What?"
"THE SIDE YOUR SOFT SPOT IS ON!!"
"OKAAY!"

that simulates an oil slick of some kind.

i think if the ship is loaded with fuel or oil you will get that floating slick... or if you hit a warship's fuel/oil tanks

Nice ramming job SH :)

Yeah. Only 4 men were burned alive.

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Well I got both whale factory ships and a large cargo from that convoy. I also hit a large tanker just before the first superstructure. It apparently sank but I did not get the credit even though I was well within hydrophone range. Somehow though the destroyer found me. I managed to avoid him most of the time but he did score a critical hit to my bow, taking out all 4 of my forward tubes in the process. Luckily the tubes were closed but I now have 3 torpedoes that I can't use. I was going to circle around and chase down the convoy but now instead I'm heading for home port in Kiel.

Go home, you deserve a few beers. :D

:D :lol:
Ive never encountered a Whale ship thinghy :shifty:

We need a southern style BBQ mod for events like that...where's a meat smoker when you need one? :o

are you using GWX?

Whaler ships are nice. They give you good tonnage and are fun to watch sink or burn or blow up.
