I perfectly understand what some of you say about that somehow "unrealistic" attack, in real life of course i would not loose a single second with thinking about crazy plans like this at all. Also i did not want to give the impression, that i do this every day, or that this should be the way destroyers should be taken on from now as a standard procedure.
I just like to test the limits of the game as well as the limits of my skills. I thougt some of you might be interested what one can do in the game, following a precise tactical plan with lots of patience, discipline, exact navigation/manouvering and precise shooting, it was by far not a dumb and thougtless arcade-style attack which made this success possible. And of course i got lucky too!
I like to play the game in different ways from time to time. Sometimes i play perfectly "realistic", that means i do not want to get sunk and surviving of me, my boat and my crew are my main goal, and i do nothing i wouldn't do in real life.
Another day i might do some crazy attacks or fight with units i seemingly can not defeat, just for the pure fun of it. It's a good training and sometimes....sorry mates....i win!
P.S.: I was 900 meters away, depth charges would have helped nothing. Also the destroyer
tried to speed up, turn, and ram me but i would not let him do so. I always navigated to stay in his back, i hit his bridge at least twice, which may have caused some confusion, and also hit his engine room several times below waterline, which seriously lowered his speed and manouverability. It's not so much the problem of the game or the detroyer as you might think, it was more doing the right thing in the right moment in the right way. (and having a big portion of luck doing so of course) Having a thougtful attack plan and following it with discipline together with quick, appropriate and flexible reacting to new situations is my main key for success.
