Most dangerous ships

Darkbluesky · 11-26-06, 03:59 PM

Hello,

I am pretty new on SH3, I wanted to develop a list of the most dangerous ships on GW. I wonder if you could help me to make a list with some of the worst ones shown in the recon book.

Tx a lot

By far I'd say a King George Battleship is the worst to have to deal with IF you're in a bad position. Nelson's are also bad when you are forced to surface by severe flooding. In contrast, King George Battlships are pretty easy to sink if you aim behind the bridge. It took me 2 that slammed in right under the bridge to sink it. The funny fact was that I once fired 1 into a George's stern and it blew up and sank in a matter of seconds.

Those battleships are deadly, thats true!! I think tha worst one have to be the destroyers... (no, im not kidding). If you consider those that are dangerous to you as a player, i would nominate the destroyers. I have been killed more times by them than by battleships. General talking, i agree with my mate Stealth Hunter: The King George & the Nelson would give you a ticket to heaven by shelling the cr@p out of you if you surface to close to them....

Any enemy vessel catching you on the surface is dangerous...probably the least worrying would be the Elco, but anything else with a deck gun (and I include merchants) can do you serious harm.

As said earlier by Seth...the destroyer (normally the fastest enemy surface vessel-in mid ocean) is probably the one to be most wary of because when in times of danger a submarine uses the oceans depths for sanctuary/safety therefore nullifying the surface vessels deck guns..... a destroyer (and most other escorts) still have a secondary weapon to destroy you with...namely deptharges...hedgehogs etc.

RESPECT THEM ALL!!

The most dangerous are the River, Evarts and Buckley Class. Be ware of them

Stealth Hunter · 11-26-06, 06:20 PM

Stay away from Trawlers, too. Those depth charges can make short work of a sub trying to hide. If anything, sink the heaviest and most dangerous escorts first and ignore the smaller ones that have only mg's and cannons. Then, take out the merchants. That's my tactic. BTW, I finally got that Nelson I wanted.

Anything with an ELITE crew and DC's is a pain in the stern tube!

There Merchants are armed earlier than the rest, so watch out when attack a convoy with a Greek ship in it!

I believe River destroyer escort, Somers, and Fletcher destroyer are most deadly against submarines after 1943. They usually smell where I am from miles out and no matter how deep I am, as I have to be really lucky if one doesn't pick me up on their sonar. Only time I can deal with them in convoy if there storm, high waves, or my sub to be really close to the land on coast.

Fishing boats are the most dangerous, their stench can knock out your crew. Avoid surface attacks

nightdagger · 11-26-06, 10:48 PM

Convoy made up of about 5 escort carriers, 5 battleships, 20 destroyers, and a greek merchant ship.

I've always found that Flower Corvets, can be and often are, the most dangerous. I don't know if it's a SH3 quirk but they can always pin point you and they're buggers to shake off.

I remember when I first took to SH3 and joined the UBI forum(

) there was so many players dying due to Flower Corvets that I think they all deliberately went after them.

IIRC the thread was called 'Flowers for Crystine'.
