Newbie question: C2 One shot kill

alamwuhk2a · 02-05-07, 09:44 AM

I've been heard that the C2 can be killed by only one torpedo. Where should i aim and what depth should i set? I tried to shoot the engine room, but it only stops and floats.
Thx guy!

Check this chart and aim for the critical areas http://files.filefront.com/shipchart.../fileinfo.html

How do you aim in a specific area of the ship anyway?! I just calculate range, AOB, speed and then feed that into TDC and hope it hits somewhere on the ship...most of my hits are in the middle...this is with 100% realism, GWX.

Your torps will go wherever you aim your scope's crosshairs...so make sure you unlock your scope when you're almost ready to fire, put the sight somewhere between 355 and 05 degrees and wait for the part of the ship you are aiming for to cross that exact mark...LOS!!! (of course you opened and flooded your tubes already, right?)

I would add imho that you should not put it anywhere between 355 and 5 because it depends of target speed/distance as well from torpedo speed.
Your best bet when possible is to put your crosshair where the TDC will give you a 0° gyroangle (read it under the notepad) This means your torpedoes will go straight out. It can be more than 10° sometimes...

I noticed that with magnetic trigger one can have a greater angle . you can sink anyship with one torpedoe you have to hit the boiler the site differs according to ships .that what happened in real with the "sadly known" (or not depends on which side one places itself) Lusitania which made 30000t the commandant of the U-boat had only one torpedoe left he hits the boiler room as the ship was at the end of its way rhe coal room was empty and the coal dust reacted to the explosion as black powder would have done it the ship has litteraly been desintegreted later others said that in fact such an explosion couldn t have been made only by a weapons load Lusitania Wikipedia

What do those colors mean? Edit: Oops, missed that.

It is true that with auto targeting whenever you hit a vulnerable spot, it will be a critical hit (kaboom and bye bye). With manual targeting it's random, especially if you are using a mod that changes the damage model of the ship and its draft. So don't feel bad if you don't make one shot kills anymore. Fire two on the sucker just to be sure...

Is there a chart like thisone for GWX?

I remember I hade this colorscheme, ingame, with vanilla SHIII, would be great if it could work with GWX to and all its ships.

No as far as I know there is no such chart for GWX. This is partially due to the way GWX damage model works, but you can still use this chart as a reference. Try to experiment a bit and soon you will discover a few 'sweet spots'

The chart colours are near enough for torpedo purposes
