Sinking a waterlogged ship with flak guns
As a last resort - how do you sink a damaged ship with flak guns? I have read somewhere that you can do it. Can be useful when you have no torp/deck gun ammo left and you just want to sink that last limping small merchant.

I already tried shooting the cargo, the engines, fuel tank. No good. Still have to try the waterline, though.

As posted in another thread yesterday that asked the same question 20mm fire AP only 37mm fire AP and AA only Now I suspect that can be changed but requires a bit more work than text editing |

if you can, aim for the captain's eyes, this will blind him and there is a bug that causes him to scuttle his ship when he can no longer see. It's tricky but it can be done...
