I "newbie guy" have been going through the single missions & trying to learn something from each scenario. Yesterday I was doing the one where you go after the Courgeous carrier. This was about my 5th attempt. I have hit it several times, but never sunk it. I had the flight deck awash on the port stern once, but it still ran off & left me... but yesterday I shot a bunch of 4, set to impact @ about 5m depth. After the shot and while I was making a 180 & heading out of dodge, one of the 4 hit the carrier at about a 30 degree angle from the port aft & just behind the Island area. The torp went "boom!" & I was just thinking.."BS, dang me! I blew it again"...Then a a very large & loud "BOOM" sent fire & deck parts sky high..
The secondary explosion actually startled me. Within 3 actual minutes it was gone...I couldn't believe it.
the DDs didn't even look for me..They just sailed around the debris & left me to my departure...
Kinda cool huh...
