Sinking Japanese Submarines
Hi Guys,
Anybody got any tips on how to sink Japanese subs. On the odd occassion I have cornered one, I can hit the jap sub with multiple torpedos to no or very little effect. Surely they aren't so strong ? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated Loppydog |

Can you give us a little more information on "no or little effect"?
Are you getting an explosion or are your torpedoes missing/duding out? If you are getting a big boom, are you saying that the submarine does not sink? Or are you referring to not getting credit for sinking the sub. That has happened to me many times. Now I no longer waste torps on enemy submarines. I have missed/duded submarines and I have not received credit for sinking subs, but once there is the big boom, the sub usually "crash dives" really fast. ![]()

I sank 3 out of 6 encountered thus far. Three, up and disappeared as I was trying to close the distance (still can't figure how I lost them), and three I sank, one for no credit. The three I sank were a "one torp, one kill" scenario.

Firt of all, thanks every one for your replies. A particular scenario is catching a jap sub in a harbour, stationary. Hitting it from close range with 3 - 4 torps and not destroying it. I suppose it's as some of you said, not credited sinking them. The red ship icon doesn't change to show enemy destroyed. Seems like a few people have this trouble, waste of ammunition, dissappointing.
Thanks again everyone |

What Pea said....
![]() Most supermods have Jap and German subs roaming the seas that you can attack and sink, stock doesn't, only the Sen and midget subs at port that don't sink....stock sucks. There is a mod that adds the Sen Toku, but you would have to add it in the traffic to sink it. |

Thanks again
Armistead and Peabody
You guys hit the nail on the head. I'm just playing the stock game so I guess I'm just whacking torpedos into an unplayable sub. I'll have to try some mods to move this on. Thanks guys. |
