Invulnerable British Sub

[Nico09]

Found my first Brit Sub North of Scotland, plotted an intercept course and unleashed 2 torpedeos at her broadside.............. 2 x Impact and all she did was crash dived (dove) and that was it :@ Not amused

That's not good

[mookiemookie]

I'm thinking (hoping?) that once people get the ship importing process figured out, as part of that, the damage modelling will be tweaked as well.

[SabreHawk]

Oh my you wasted two fish at 40,000 marks each on a sub?

[Nico09]

I would have only fired 1 and have read that deck gun was inefectual so i though a torp or 2 would sort it . I would put 3 screenies ive got, but havent got anywhere to host them and then upload them

And that sub could have would have sunk thousands of tonnes of the fatherlands shipping :-P

Torpedoes for a measly 540 tons? what? The deck gun makes quick work of them!!

I've killed about 6 of them.

5 with the deck gun.. and 1 by pushing it to crush depth.

Ahhh i read your thread about pushing it to the bottom, thought the deck gun didnt work on them........ i shall try again

[gutted]

Deckgun works, its just that he was able to submerge before i got more than 1 hit on him ( i got kill credit because i hit em once). I should have started shooting earlier for that one.

Usually only takes a handful of hits.

But there is the famous sinking of a submerged german sub, of the norwegian coast by a english sub. The english captain fired a 4 torpedo spread and had a fortunate hit, to him it was worth it (german subs must have been priority targets).

Now, if I was the captain I dont think I would have surface and manned the deckgun. what if the enemy sub raced to me and fired a spread? A prolonged crashdive could take minutes and then baaaam!

(or, I could pick up the deck-crew later haha)

Their soup is a lot better than kriegsmarine soup

After some time and see what people is writting about shV seems that is in a severe unfinished state and need a lot of work, ( i don´t have the game yet )

Then it sunk. How did you get the impression that it just dived?

I have sunk three british subs with single torpedo, all dived, went to the bottom and I got the credit.

I assumed that because i didn't get the credit. Re-played it and sunk it with deck gun, still didn't get the credit

Nico

Not very accurate historically
In RL
Brit Subs sunk 13 Uboats
Uboats only sunk 3 British Subs

Statisticly you should be more likely be the victim in such an encounter.

[Nico09]

Well im glad that they did take place and that stops peeps on here stating it wasnt realistic that subs crossed paths and that torps shouldn't be wasted on other subs

Correct, Allies and Axis subs crossed each others paths a hell of a lot espcially in the Med -
To say its unrealistic is just bollocks.
Its just that such encounters didnt result in sinking most of the time as WW2 subs were not designed or equipped to really tackle one other.
Abit of a stale mate.
