That's it. Never another Passenger/Cargo
Is the Passenger/Cargo a sort of a programmer's joke?
For five years, I have torped them in the bow, under the stack, in the stern. I have ripped out keels. I have personally given them 20 below the waterline deck-gun shots. :damn: Yeah, they will sink, someday. Once I had one sink just after Willy Brandt became Chancellor. Seriously, is there a sweet spot for them? Or is every last one of them transporting balsa wood and ping-pong balls? I play "take what you get", so I feel duty bound to sink them. But I am about to make an exception. |
Maybe the ones you hit are loaded with inflated Mae Wests? :har:
Seriously, I have no idea what the deal might be with those. |
It's becouse on that ship is to many passengers, so you have no chance to sink that ship. Simply calculation to sink any shipis:
Number of people on the ship X number of buckets, glasses, barrels or anything what can bu use to pure the water outside the ship X tonnage = chances the ship survive the attack. As you see better stick with fishing boats :) |
Some, of them here Passenger / Cargo, sometimes need more eels..
|
I aim for about 1/3 of the way from the bow and that seems to put them under with one shot. But yeah, I hate them, too. I've put as many as three torpedoes into one of them before she'd go down. I much prefer to use the gun on them if the weather is not too rough.

These torpedo guzzlers are full of hot air generated by Subsimers. Best to just let them go. :haha:
|
Bow shot under the forward mast at 2.5M and they will go down due to flooding within the hour.

In all seriousness though, at 90 renown I sometimes wonder if they're worth the effort. Here is a shipchart link showing the 'sweet spots'...I'm not sure if it is on here but it's worth a look: http://www.filefront.com/13792872/shipchart.pdf |
I will try HW3 and K-61's advice, then. 1/3 back/under the foremast.
The next time that is..... this one already got one torpedo and he is not going to get another one. I will follow him to Tahiti, first. It violates my theology and geometry to use more than one torpedo on anything bigger than 7000 tons. Edit: Thanks @jimbuna. Our messages crossed. That chart, even though it is for stock, should be enormously useful for new captains; I remember having it at some point. Thank you! |
Props?
One would think a hit at the stern would blow off or damage the props and/or rudder. That would at least halt the ship.
If nobody is around, deck gun at the waterline? Pick a second shot at the best guess and leave her to wallow. |
Deck gun at the water line, is a good option if weather permits, and you do not have other unwanted guests, :lurk:

Anyway, you try putting 20 under the waterline of a Passenger/Cargo. She'll sail off at 7 knots, bobbing along like a rubber ducky. |
True! If you are unlucky it may be so, otherwise leave her and move on
|
Just snuck up on one, fired one 110mm round at it, thing immediately split in half. Got credit for it, but i then spent 3 hours waiting for the 2 halves to sink. Never did, so I got bored and left.
