last mission dropping of a spy on the japanese coast , I get a new update patrol, I've to patrol the japanese coast. With only 4 stern torps left I was not going to hang around to long.
Not long after I dropped the spy off, I had a task force contact, bottom line turned out to be 3 DD and a Liner 18,000+tns the one on the 1st page of the ship rec manual.
Anyhoo, stormy night I was lined up and she was about to pass within 350meters of my stern. Just about seen her funnels and masts could not make out the hull.
Any way I had set all 4 torps depth to 5meters and 1st set at 0angle the other 3, angles 1. 2 and 3. I let her have all 4 torps (my setting 73%) I though that 4 would not be enough. But all 4 hit and I seen flames from her rear funnel and within 3minutes of my 1st torp hitting she was gone, down to a watery grave.
So I don't think the devs have set the sinkings to ultra slow, some do others like that 18,000tn+ Liner were gone in under 3 mins.
Another time I had not torps left, and this 5,000+tn Freighter was sailing close by in the dead of night, I got my deck gun crew to open up on her from close range (500meters) The 1st shot I hit her midship, the 2nd hit her rear deck and when it did , there was a massive explosion and she started to sink . 2 shells.
Again she was gone in about 2 mins...
