Submerged In Dover as I type this (GW1.1)

12-12-06, 09:05 PM

I've only been playing this game for a week or so, with the GW1.1 mod, and just had my best patrol so far. I've downed a couple of small warships, two large merchants and two large C3s. I was on my way back to Wilhemshafen and as I passed Dover I thought I might as well use the 4 torpedos I still have sinking whatever I might find in the local harbor.

Sneeking inside was a bit tricky as there are countless armed trawlers and V&W destroyers roaming around. I got inside and spotted my very first Fiji, then my first Dido and then, I couldn't believe my eyes, my very first passanger liner.

A quick glance at the renown scores that I can get for each ship settled it for me. I want to down the passanger ship, and get out of there ASAP as I've been spotted and am being pinged at this very moment. I should have enough time to let lose my two last front torps and at least one from aft before reinforcements can arrive.

My question now is, just where do I aim at this behemoth? The communitymanuals link that shows weak spots doesn't have the passanger liner on its list. It's the early 40s and from what I've read here so far the magnetic trigger aren't to be trusted, at least not just yet.

I'm afraid you're right. I saved and tried a couple of things. I never survived longer then five minutes and I'm in a very bad position to fire at the liner. To hell with the passanger ship, I got the Dido lined up perfectly in my (only

) Savespot. I'll torp her and then I must find a way out again.

I cannot lose this tonnage!

If you are playing for any amount of realism at all you will creep out of there without shooting at all. There is a reason subs didnt do what you are doing.

Unless you are playing a Japanese sub.

Mate, ive found on the Liner the easiest spot to aim is 1 fish under the funnel and one into the stern. sure it may take a while to sink, but you'll get your renown. As for the dido, again under the funnel or under any of the turrets ought to work well for you.:hmm:
