Has anyone sunk the Hood but with actual torpedos??

Kptlt. Neuerburg · 04-07-07, 11:40 PM

During my first patrol I ran into a RN group that had Light Cruisers, Destoryers, and one Battleship a Revenge class and the Hood. It took at least two hours realtime to sink it. Also I was relaying the battle of sub vs battlecruiser/battleship. Funnyist thing was I found it on ACIDENT!!!

. I only found it due do the fact that I was submerged and the rate of lag. (Honestly I've also found convoys by lag HEHE

.) By the end of it all I had fired all but three topedos. I keep at least three torps for " just in case". Sadly I didn't get any screenshots though because I had just updated GWX to 1.02 and didn't know that the print scr key couldn't take screenshots anymore.

I have not seen the Hood so far at all, I'm in November '40 so I haven't much time left :P. Sank the Rodney last night though. It was in ther middle of a convoy with only three corvettes as convoy escorts, which seemed a little odd. Not sure that would have actualy have happened.
Ctrl + F11, to take screen shots. They will be stored in the main SHIII game folder.

This ship is definitely on fire :p

I have sunk the Hood - but its kind of a cheap way of doing it. Using GWX 1.03 - start a career at the earliest date. Go thru the channel and visit ports on the north side as you transit - you usualy can get a couple of merchies if your willing to brave the shallows and port guards. Dont go too slow though - or you might miss your chance at the Hood. If you check Plymouth early enough - you will almost always see the Hood at anchor. Given how Plymouth is guarded early in the war (No DE or DD patrolling the harbor itself and apparently no antisub/antitorp net) - the Hood becomes an easy target. Only real concern is your exit - you will usually encounter a DD on its way to investigate as you leave. If you tme your attack for the dark hours - a surface attack and retreat can be effective. Good Luck and Good Hunting!

I have took her out a few times once in the open sea,once in port, and the last time when she was leaveing LE (pure luck) with 2 other capital ships and a few escorts she stood no chance.

As opposed to...? Getting in a time machine and doing it? Duking it out in a surface duel? Fake torpedoes?

I created a mission using the editor a while ago and it was me in my VIIB against the HOOD, acouple Didos and ten J Class DDs, i got into a great firing position and fired one Torpedo cause the DDs found me. I dived deep and then i remembered the torpedo i fired so i went to the External Camera and went to t he Hood and the toperod hit, right below the middle gun turret upfront and it must have hit a ammo dump down there cause the whole ship exploded and sunk. I couldnt beleive me eyes, i sunk the Hood in one shot.

Well thank you Captin Haplo I took your advise and went to Plymouth in 1939 on my fourth patrol and made my first SH3 movie which is here and a screenie

On numerous occasions whilst sailing with convoys

Nice movie and music, Hellmutt, but a little dark...

Kptlt. Neuerburg · 07-06-07, 03:49 PM

Well I tryed to give it a "newsreel" look to it but it didn't turn out quite the way I wanted it to. But the music was quite approptire though.

Great music and atmosphere. A bit lighter it would have worked great

i sank the Hood twice in scapa flow

once with torpedo's and once with the DG (wich almoast killed me)

if he's in scapa then there are subnets all around him

Rabiddwarf · 07-06-07, 05:17 PM

kiwi_2005 · 07-06-07, 05:17 PM

Yes sunk the hood near scarpa flow, travelling with another BB. Took her down with 4 torpedos.
