Default It's not fair!

lol Awwwwww man! Found a nice convoy! Scanned it to see if anything was worth my final torpedo - then I saw this!



I'm still going to try and put my final fish into it and *hope* I hit something vital.

One freaking torpedo... And I just came from sinking a Medium Merchant - who took 3 torpedos. lol

Los!



Stay on target, stay on target!



Please don't be a dud!!



It's a hit!!!



Decent location - too far fore, but it's a hit.



Unfortunately, no spectacular secondary explosions or sinking.

My WO ID's it as a Nelson BB.

Default BB

Next time don't us a midget sub; get a real one with more than one torpedo.

hmmm, nice shot but the logical thing to do was to target a smaller ship, with chances of a sinking.
Then again maybe some BB were sunk using only 1 torp.

can't destroy a nelson with one torpedo even if you hit the magazine.

Indeed - that was my original intent, but it's the first time I've seen a BB in this game in a convoy, so I figured I'd give it a shot - literally. lol

I saved just prior to launching, so I'll just reload and take out a tanker and go home.

no wait... that depends if youre running a mod! i already sunk a BB in scapa with a lucky magazine hit. ok, wasnt the mighty nelson, but in the zones.cfg BB´s armored all the same.

its all about luck, because ammobunks etc. have a chance of critical hit. that means sometimes they blow up, sometimes they dont...
