How many torps does it take to sink a revenge class battleship?
 

I jus wanted to know.

Happy Hunting...

That s the type of question to which there is no definitive answer. Are you playing SH3 unmodded or modded? It's possible to sink it with one, yet another time four can't do the job. As in real life, there are no certainties. You'll have to experiment in game or in a mission, and make note of the variables of your attack, such as the type of torpedoes, pistols, depths, weather, etc. In general, which covers a lot of latitude, three to four should do it, but there will be circumstances where less or more will be required. Even if you fail to sink it with your first salvo, it will most likely stop or reduce speed to the extent that should you survive the wrath of her escorts, you'll get another shot at her. Since you so rarely encounter such a valuable target at sea, I'd give it all four tubes. How many times does a Kaleun get a BB in his sights? Herr Doenitz will forgive your liberal usage of precious torpedoes, but is less likely to forgive you if you fail to sink it due to miserly usage of ordnance.

I didn't have that kind of luxury, I only had 2 fore torpedos left and 1 str torpedo.
I gave it all I had but unfortunatly, only 1 hit it's mark.

This was very frustrating,

I just had to ask, but thanks of the answer mate.

:salute:

It's a heartbreak, isn't it?:wah: I've also been in the situation where I knock a fat, juicy target out of a convoy, survive the counterattack and then lose the damage ship because the weather changed to fog or dark and stormy night. Tough break, but better luck next time, eh?

yea, better luck next time lol.

Usually I need a minimum of three Eels,
 

But I've got her down to just one, if the hit is legal, :yep:

Speaking of torpedos hitting targets, what was the mod which shows sections of the ship (fuel bunker and ammunitions bunker, etc.), I can't remember what it was called or where to start looking.

Vulnerability mod or merchant vulnerability mod, I can't remember which. I have found playing in GWX Gold that the hit spots light up if I am within 1,000 metres and within 20 degrees of perpendicular.

I bagged one in a convoy with two torpedoes (one under the forward guns, one under the rear) I blew that thing apart, it was like a fireworks show.

The second was in Scapa Flow (always a great way to end a career) that one took four around midnight, then after my port raid I hit it again with two more and it sunk sometime in the early morning (then I was next :haha:)

If you can manage to get your torpedoes into her magazine compartments she will sink.

Anything from 1 to 6 depending on where you hit her.

Better to use magnetics and aim for the magazines.

I had very good luck by using a magnetic aimed at a 40 degree aob-:D

When attacking a capital ship give it every torpedo you have loaded and pointed in her direction.

"How many torps does it take to sink a revenge class battleship?"

Let's ask Mr. Owl.

"A good question. Let's find out. A One... A.two-HOO...A tha-three".. glub glub

Three. :yeah:

If your a cocky b'stard,
a magnetic under a turret should do it,

If your more cautious, aim for the screws, then when she stops keep hitting her

According to The Royal Oak Disaster (G.S.Snyder) Gunter Prien used seven electrics (G7e) to sink Revenge sister HMS Royal Oak but only four (possibly only three) actually hit and functioned as designed.

Your mileage may vary.
