Cargo ship guide?

WoutoR · 03-13-15, 06:30 AM

Hi!

After a long downtime, I've installed SH3 again, and like before I'm having a blast. Now I'd like to ask the following; Back when I was playing it a long time ago I found a guide which had pictures/drawings which showed how the cargoships/targets were build up. It showed where the engine room or perhaps the ships bunker tanks were located. But now I can't seem to find this guide anymore.

Perhaps someone here knows what I'm talking about or maybe someone has some alternative for me?

Cheers!

Hi there,

Welcome to SUBSIM

Did a quick search and came across this older link:Here

It may be helpful.

I try to place my shots directly amdiships whenever I can. Otherwise, aim for just under or slightly behind the main funnel. Destroy the boiler room. When that's flooded, the power is cut off and the ballast pumps stop working. From that point, water goes in, but not back out. They don't last too much longer after that.
Another good place to aim is a spot under the main mast, forward. Two hits, 1 fwd, one aft in the engine spaces are usually enough to sink all but the most stubborn ships.
On occasion, I have had to feed 3, 4 and in one rare case, 5 torpedoes against one target in order to get demonstrable results (I hate that).
