depends on the wound. Let's say you get a decent ke
- sorry - just got catalina'd - flooding, yellow compartments all around, but survived...no more surface running today (oct 41)
- a decent keel shot that lowers the boat and stops it. Sure - 20 shots and the thing's going under. Make sure they're below the waterline - spread them about the boat - try to shoot for the other side than the torpedo hit. Also, I like to lead with a few APs. I'm not sure if that makes a difference, but I think it does - punch little holes, and by the time you pump your share of HE into it, the thing's listing and going over. I spread shots about the boat, then concentrate on one end (bow or stern) and all as far below the waterline as I can go.
Works well - perfect amount of ammo for finishing off 4 or 5 boats.
