Question About Ship Damage
 

Hey, i have a question about damage in the game. In the single mission courageous, i landed two torpedo on the carrier. It did not sink. When retrying the mission i landed one torpedo only and it sunk completely. Im a bit confused on how that works. Is there a certain point on a ship i have to fire at to sink it? and if i dont is there a minimum amount of torps that need to hit to sink it? With reference to the illustrious fleet carrier.

An aircraft carrier is quite large and usually built for purpose so as it can sustain a certain amount of damage.

Your 2 torpedoes in regards to SH3 AI would depend on where they hit and at what depth.

This is known in the game as a critical hit, again the AI determining the outcome as to whether 1 torpedo is enough to sink a large warship of over 20,000 tonnes.

Hi A
For some reason I must have forgot to add it in my spreadsheet at the time.
Easily rectified, thank you.
