Adventures in the China Sea
So, I had the most fun ever so far with this game last night engaging two Large Composite Freighters in a night storm. I don't have all the advances in setting up shots yet, but I had time to make a plan and it worked.
The first Freighter is never the problem. I set up a 90 about 800 yds portside and slammed three front torps, a bow and 2 center hits, but didn't effect it's propeller. That one ran for a while before taking water which slowed it down for later.
On my way between the two ships I surfaced, finishing the first ship with 6 near range AP shots, and dove taking one hit which was quickly repaired.
The second ship made a maneuver which set me up for a chance at an Aft shot, but timing was of the essence as visibility was less than 1000 yds.
I thought I pulled the trigger too early on both aft torpedos but they both hit, and then he started out at a run.
Now we're talking big waves at night and rain, fog, etc. I could barely make a shape out in the distance when I turned to my stern mount cannon. Several long range shots later, confirming the hits with my zoom lens, she exploded.
The action was fast, with little time to plan.
