HMS Rodney sunk!

rifleman13 · 06-08-08, 06:10 PM

Feb 1940, SW of the Hebrides

Convoy Sighted, heading SE, Loads of Merchants (apporox 20+), and two Warships: HMS Rodney and a Black Swan Frigate.

Wait... one escort... one escort! And HMS Rodney!

Screw the Mechants, to periscope depth! Ahead flank!

Launched a salvo of four torpedoes, set to 7m, fast... Torpedo Los!

One eel exploded prematurely but three confirmed hits.

Took approx. 30 min to sink! Heard my one of my officers confirm the kill.

Sorry for no screenshots, 15 kt winds and the single escort prevented me to do so!

During that patrol warship tonnage exceeded merchant tonnage.

(55366 total (19366 merchant /36000 HMS Rodney)

Keep racking up the tonnage!

Nice work! It's always nice to be able to get more warship tonnage than merchant, especialy when it's a battleship or carrier bumping up the tonage!

Yup!

I had a hard time finding loners I just stumbled along this convoy expecting regular cargo ships and tankers but never a battleship. Such a sight!

BTW, how much renown is the Rodney worth? And is there a list of ships with corresponding Renown?:hmm:

I can't remember the renown, but it is sweet. Keep up the good work, Kaleun. Free drinks when you come home.

Hehe it also brings me memory, the first day i was trying gwx(clean). I went and face with a task force. Guess what, spotting hms hood, nelson, nelson's sister, rodney and a carrier with some ship which looks like hms warspite. I sank HMS hood, nelson, nelson's sister and the carrier. Got no more torpedo so i was forced to abandon my hunt! But yet i was playing at easy mod! And it cannot face what riflemans has done with realist mod!
