Some Damage Observations

I'm hoping to get some feed back on this from you guys.

In my current campain I was at the entrance to the harbour that leads to Tokyo. My radar picked up a large TF, BB's, CV's, Tankers, CA's and the usual DD's.

So I was in a position right ahead and dived deep and came up in the middle of the convoy, it was night wich was a great benefit.

I set my fish to fast and ran them at around twenty feet, two hits on a Kongo BB doomed her, she ground to a halt and capsized in around five minutes.

likewise two hits on a large carrier (I think was a shokaku) and she was gone in around a minute. Literally one minute she was there and I lined up a shot at a tanker, swung the scope back and she was gone.

The tanker proved to be the hardest to sink with three torps needed.

Was the factor here the depth of the torps ? I'm wondering if in the carrier's case I got the hits in the hangar area, and this caused massive flooding that overwhelmed her.

Since then I experimented with various depth settings, and found the deeper the setting the more destructuve they seem to be. The battle of the Phillipene Sea is one I've played numerous times and have been able to sink the carriers and BB's with two fish set at twenty plus feet.
