Come on guys, have a kit kat
There are a few here i've noticed that get off their trolley and take things too seriously. Lets not fall in to that trap.
I have to say CWorth that your original post did look a little dismissive of GP, but i didn't think you intended it the way it came out in writing.
It is, as you say, sometimes difficult to express your intention accurately in writing, so where theres any ambiguity in the intent of a comment people can easily mis-enterpret it.
Certainly wouldn't be the first time lol.
I could take as a case in point onelifecrisis's comment about destroyers
" the clue is in the name
" . . . but i prefer to think he was pulling my leg and i'll continue to do that unless he makes his intention clear.
I spoke to one fella in the past who tried to slight me because i dared to question his opinion about what can be discerned of ship types through sonar, but it just told me that the guy and his opinions weren't worth my time. And neither were his mods, as i found recently when i tried one
.
But lets put it in perspective. It's a game, a forum for a game, and people will have different ideas and opinions, based on greatly differing degrees of knowledge.
Everyone that uses this forum should respect that, otherwise they're not fit to contribute to it. Nuff said
Anyway . . . Graf it's a stock GWX ship that hasn't been modified, the German Hipper/Prince Eugen type heavy cruiser. I thought it was all the German heavy cruisers, but after more testing the Admiral Scheer/ Lutzow type seems to be ok.
I have no mods that would affect that type of ship, so i think it's an error in the armour level for the engine area on that type of ship.
Because it's a German ship, and most ppl spend all their time shooting at British ships, rarely ever seeing a German ship, i suspect it's slipped through the bug net.
It's an error that only a ship model maker would be able to identify and adjust. Making these ships appear, look and behave correctly in the game is no easy task. Playing with the settings without knowing what i'm altering is just plain stupid lol.
Regarding SH3 being a catalyst for historical interest . . . me too m8
As for destroyers versus A/C's, all we un-knowledgable can do is guess.
For my money, with superior armour, attack resistance and weaponry to a destroyer, i'd guess the A/C would make short work of sinking it.
The biggest threat would probably be the destroyers ability to launch torpedoes, but with at least twice the number of guns to dodge it would be sunk before it ever got close enough to launch one that had a hope of hitting the carrier.
Maybe someone will know of an historical encounter and can tell us the outcome?
