Do you ever wonder why they call it the small Split Freighter
 

This shot speeks for its self.

That sir.. would NOT be a small split.

More like a huge crack ! :p

On a serious note, why the nomenclature of 'split' ?

I would imagine its due to that it has two holds for differant kinds of cargo. that would be my guess

Did I ever wonder?
 

Not after your submarine was done with it...:arrgh!:

On a serious note, I'd also guess that the name split refers to two different kinds of holds, maybe one for dry goods and one for liquids. Can't say for certain, but since most ships have more than one hold, actually choosing to name it 'split' would have to be for more of a reason than purely the number of holds.

Good pic by the way.

:D Chock

Very nice....that could be a nice scene for my aquarium.;)

Translated from romanian , i think they meant small sh!t freighter .

:o :lol: :rotfl: :rotfl:

That torpedo came in at an agnle from the bow aft. Looking at the shot that was perfect for doing the most damage to the ship as I could. It blew out the entire keel under the engine room Its just to bad on couldnt see the engine falling out and a little more to the effect.

Also I installed a mod and my Sinking icon on the map is differant colors. For this ship was Blue and I have seen Green ones and red. What does that meen?

Uhh "came in from the bow aft" ??

From the Bow to the aft. Was a head on shot and he turned to the port. The torpedo entered and went that way

Nice pic. :cool:

'Split' refers to having a split midships superstructure with a cargo hatch between the bridge structure and the funnel. It don't think it has anything to do with cargo.

Well thats exactly where he split :lol:

If there is a cargo hatch there it would be a natural weak point of the ship. ;)

Well anyway it was a lucky hit. I didnt use the TDC and it was just point and shoot. I fired three torpedos and the First two missed. I fired a third and that is when he noticed my Parascope and hauled over to port. his turn sealed his fate. Instead of Head on it was right there at the split just behind the Bridge structure. I got a good look at the damage as it ripped out the entire bottom of his hull from the hit back to where you can see it just behind the engine room and tore out his keel, all the way over to the port side of his hull. Was the most damage from any torpedo I have ever Fired.
My Mods are RFB, NSM, and the Part of ROW that fixes the Prop direction. I may have a few other small mods that I forgot about but nothing that should make the Torpedos any more powerfull. Infact RFB should have toned them down alittle I think.

You sank friendly and neutral ships?:nope: Your going to be kheelhauled when you get home!:dead:
