Pick your target
 
You're patrolling around AN11 (quite the dangerous assignment) and it's you're lucky day: In looking over to Scapa Flow you can see the Hood and another batteship moored there; then you see the Murmansk convoy incoming with the escorts The Ark Royal and The Illustrious, plus a 5 column convoy with what you can easily make out to be 3 or 4 large tankers.

Though the problem didn't get fixed till years later, lets assume that the magnetic detonators work correctly in case you want to test your skill in hitting the sweet spot. So which would you go for?

I'd go for the carrier, because in all my years of playing SHIII, I've never managed to actually sink one... :oops:

I'd go for the flat-tops too.

The flat tops, I would hate to deprive the Bismark of her great victory over the Hood.:up:

We all know
 
This many years later we all know the aircraft made the battleship obsolete. Back then, hmmm. Air power was yet to prove itself.

Whatever you pick, don't get greedy. Take down one major one and then try to survive. You want that party back home! :woot:

Valid point raymond6751.

I would be concerned about hitting the moored battlecruiser and it not sinking deep enough for me to get the credit.
But that's an SH3 issue, not a realism issue :DL

I'd go for the tankers:D

Arctic wolf 07-18-10 07:05 AM

I think I'll be greedy and try to take as many as I can :arrgh!:

Jimbuna 07-18-10 07:21 AM

Go for the carriers.....but pinch yersel first and ensure your not dreaming :DL

STEED 07-18-10 09:37 AM

Go for the tankers, without fuel the RN is stuck in port, are what the heck, sink what you want and nuts to the rest of us. :rotfl2:

Melonfish 07-19-10 08:31 AM

Tankers, not as armoured so you should easily be able to crack all 3.
maybe get a magnetic shot under the turret of a BB just for kicks, you never know you may hit his magazine.

sharkbit 07-19-10 08:57 AM

I'd go for one or both carriers. Evade and reload, and try to sneak into Scapa for the Hood and/or battleship. They probably aren't gonna go anywhere. :arrgh!:

Medals all around when we return home. :woot:

:)

Actually the hit and duck sounds good. hit your prefered target then sit in the basin next to a big ship so the dd's can't get you.
