Your favourite kill shot on Large Merchants

Stix · 12-21-06, 05:45 AM

I'm curious as to what your best tactic is to bring down large merchants. I have sunk them with 1 torp but more commonly it's 1 torp magnetic - 9m, under the stack and another impact - 4-5m just forward of the stack.

Anyone have a consistant 1 shot kill spot?

doesnt happen much but they satisfy me the most.

I'm using GWX with nothing else.

I seem to have a hard time hitting the fuel tanks though, any advice?

all i do is close to within a 1000m line myself up to 90 degrees (side ways on obviously) and stick a load of men in my torp room till the bar is full. go to periscope view and use the i.d manual find the correct ship and on the picture of the ship little black boxes appear move your cursor over these and target whichever compartment you want. you wont see these compartments appear unless the torp bar is full, you must be within 1000m and be more or less 90 degrees from the target ship

not certain that the special target function actually functions in GWX.
Yes you can select the fuel bunkers, but the torp goes to midship unless you use manual targeting.
