I bumped into a massive convoy late 1944 in the Luzon straight.
It had one carrier and a 34,500 pound Battleship. The carrier was smaller but a nice size anyway.
Strategically a carrier is more important to sink especially when it’s got a full compliment of planes.
But in the game it’s about tonnage and the battleship was just massive.
Fuso class.

The convoy had 6 destroyers and a few other large ships I didn’t immediately recognize.
So I chose the battleship with a salvo of 6 torpedoes. 3 hit and she went down.
I high tailed it out of there fast.

So was that the right move or should I have gone for the carrier?
