Largest explosion
What is the largest explosion you've seen in game, any ship or nation?
|
Hmmmmm, let me see now. Collectively, I'd have to say that the largest explosions I've ever seen, occurred while playing TMOwtw. Some with ignition/detonation blasts that were literally blinding. I've seen some good ones too in RFB but, not like the ones in TMO. Shoot, I hope I don't have to scroll through all my SS. I take way too many SS.:03:
|
If you ever get a chance and run across a NC BB, save and sink it....The first explosion is a biggy, then it sinks like a brick in a few seconds.

I think im in a Repeat mission glitch, and there is always the same two taskforce's a few NMs from Pearl when i leave. There might be a NC around. That, and a Mk48 ADCAP might do some pretty boom boom.

Long while back I set up for a starboard sonar O'kane, in the fog, at night. It took awhile to find her. But, I knew she was there due to the lag. I finally got a bead on her with the hydrophones. With the volume up, it wasn't that hard. Took awhile, but I managed a good solution. She was still around 4k yds out and making 7kts, so I had time to go get another Mountain Dew and some cookies. :smug:
When I got back she was about 1k out, so I decided to take a peek. Hey! The fog had cleared! Oh LOOKIE! A large tanker! I noted my plot put me a bit closer to her track than I usually liked. But, still good. And not too close so as the fish wouldn't arm before striking. I quickly added a third fish to the salvo, just to make sure. Set the first and second to slow speed and the third to fast. I figured to fire aft to bow. :yeah: When the time was ripe I let the salvo fly and waited. I grabbed the plate of cookies and was reaching for the Dew when all hell broke loose!!! :o The screen went whitish orange in a flash... the roar in the room sounded like Deep Purple themselves were in the room (forgot to turn the sound down after lookin for her)!!! The Dew arced through the air like a Reggie Miller 3 pointer. The cookies scattered as if shot from a confetti cannon, which sent the dog off like a 7 year old on a sugar high at an easter egg hunt. :doh: I crawled back to the screen and swung the scope around to see nothing but flotsam and floating bodies. YES!!!.. I sat there for a moment before chuckling and ordering the crew to surface the boat... I turned to survey the damage done to the room in time to see the wife walk off, once again, muttering, "jackass"... :roll: "HEY, how was I to know she was loaded with oil"???? At least the dog likes me. |
same thing. a tanker. one torpedo. perfect shot.
it just kept exploding,and exploding,even after it went under. which of course drove the escorts around it absolutely daffy,firing flares up into the sky, as they were looking for the cause of it. :D thankfully, my crew and i were safe enough distance away to not spring any leaks. operation monson-april 9th,1940-off the coast of gibraltar-on-station-12:50 AM:M-M-K-M-F Tanker 9500 tons-per my patrol log. |
You get a nice loaded ship to explode at the right time you can take out several. Most I've sunk is 5 ships, hit one, others explode, taking out others. Once I got lucky and took out 2 escorts by a tanker...boom.
Course you only get credit for the one sunk...which sucks. |
I do recall a particular ship now, that seems to have a propensity for catastrophic explosions, in TMO anyway. On more than one occasion, I came across a Large Modern Passenger freighter, not the ones that are docked but, at sea. Upon torpedo impact, these ships detonated with a blinding light and then sent off ordinance in all directions that also would explode violently, as far as 100yds from the vessels. Sort of like a Fourth of July fireworks display, well, not this years version anyway.:salute:

Here's the NC going up. Nothing in game comes close. Haven't looked at the file and not sure what the load is. One torp will always sink it with one blinding explosion. I got devilish and attacked Halsey's TF. The Iowa is a little less than the Yamato in boom. What was funny I hit a NC between two fleet carriers and it took one out and had the other listing...Made some great SS's

But I guess it seems big because the boats are so small. |
