Nope, not another "cursed unsinkable C2s!" thread. I'm talking about ships that seem to defy gaping torpedo holes and perhaps physics. For example: I snuck into a large convoy and managed to disable one C2 and hit a second twice in the stern. Here's the second, a few minutes after the attack. At this point, she was still making 4-5kts:
![]() The C2 continued on like this, making 4kts, for six and a half hours. Fortunately the rest of the convoy was doing seven, and eventually moved far enough away that I could pull into position and attack the straggler. Here she is right before I sank her, still chugging along: ![]() I imagine she would have crossed the entire Atlantic like this, had I not intervened. Must of had a pretty tough simulated crew. ![]()

It must be really hard for the boiler room fires to generate the
steam needed to keep the engines going when underwater..... JIM

The new Large Cargo ship in RUB/Ops does nearly the same thing for me. The first three of them I ran into took three fish each and just kept on going and going and going. Sort of like the Energizer Bunny. Finally I found that it takes four to put them down, or so I thought until last night. I nailed one with my last eel and it went down like a rock.
Go figure.

I to encountered an unsinkable C2 today , stayed put for 24 hours and the damn thing still didn't go down even when the stern was underwater.

I've had the same problem with warships. During an attack on a convoy, I was targetting several ships. Lauched the topedoes, dived deep, and listened out for the explosions. One torpedo ran way over its time...then hit something.
Anyway, I tracked the convoy, did another attack, then carried on for home along the convoy's reciprocal. Suddenly I'm being fired at! OMG...its half a Flower-class coming at me! Only her forward 2/3 was visible and she was making a few knots, but even with her bow angled upwards she was still able to depress her main gun and aim at me ![]() She had obviously got in the way of the torpedo that missed it's intended target, and ended up trailing the convoy. |
