Task force Engagement!

VWPowerSub · 12-16-05, 08:32 AM

Well I finialy got hold of one of those fast moving task force convoys last night.

Cought them just before Gibrater. It had a Nelson class Battle ship and the other big one and a few crusiers. As soon as i spoted them on the surface they sent all there destroyers after me! This is in Full daylight with calm seas.
I went to Periscope depth right away and stuck it in Flank. Checked the stats on the distroyers and set my torps to just under there huls. At flank one came right at me and I shot one Torp. strait at him at 600m. HIT! Sank him, he looked like a Sub diving with his speed and the hole in his bow. Two others started to follow me. I egged them on by keeping my scope us so they could see me and one by one I sent them to the bottom. All going down with holes in there bow! I love this game! One other came in and I put that one down also.
I love a IXC boat with all the extra torpodeos!
Sorry about the spelling but i am very excited if you can't tell already! Can't wait to go home tonight to finish off the 4 big boys especially the Nelson class! Currently had to save while i get in a better position to go after the Battle ships. I have enought torpedos to sink most of them.

Good luck with it. I too attacked my first task force yesterday. Just an Illustrius and about 6 destroyers/cruisers. The carrier was passing me quick and i was out of range so I flanked straight towards him, did the roughest targeting Ive ever done (pure quesswork on the range) and fired my remaining 4 torps. Amazingly 3 hit and sent him down. Now completely out of torps I dived so deep my boat was creaking and slid away.
