Sinking the HMS Hood

[andylegate]

Whew! That was tough!! But I did it though! 48,360 tons of battle ship sitting partially submerged at the piers at Plymoth!

It was funny, I was bored (that's normally what makes my crew start to scream and run around in panic. The Captian's bored? Oh god no! We're gonna die!) and decided to see if I could sneek into Plymoth, was hoping for a troop ship maybe.

Only thing guarding the harbor entrance was a armed trawler and one little Elco! So I slipped on in (just missing the sub net! I saw that later on the way out!), got close and looked around through my scope.

I about dropped a brick! At first all I saw a was a lousy few small merchants, but there she was! The HMS Hood!

I sent 3 torpedos her way, and heard them detonate, but not impact! WTF???

Torpedo net! Cripes!

I waited for my reload, and this time set the depth of the topedos to 1 meter. Sure enough, they skimmed over the top of the net and slammed into the Hood's hull! Ha!

Took about 5 to sink her as I could only hit her bow at an acute angle!

That was FUN!
