Boarding the Yamato!!

[deamyont]

After a good start on my 4th patrol in my S-38, I got a task force report not to far away. Intercepted, and found 2 Yamatos, 2 Fusos, several cruisers and a load of DD's. Fired all 4 loaded torpedoes into the last Yamato in the line and dived. Apprently I knocked out the engine, but I didnt sink her. As you probobly guessed the rest of the TF moved on, leaving it there, dead in the water.

So, I reloaded and fired my last torpedo at it - no effect. Then, I surfaced about 6000m out, and fired my last 10 HE shells at it - no effect. It didnt even fire back.

Amazed by this, I decided to run closer at ahead flank, just to see how close I needed to be before it spotted me. Comming in from its side, I was 100(!!!) meters away from it before it spotted me and turned its guns towards me. Had to make a hard turn to avoid ramming it... however, it doesnt seem that it can lower its guns enough to fire at time. Guess it needs a hug now






Proof this is in carrer mode (if anyone care);
