PYRO ship and no big bang!!!

aloe1 · 01-17-07, 07:48 AM

Hi i hit a pyro ship with two tim fish both exploded on contact impact. I was expecting ahuge explosion, but didnt get one! Am i not aiming at the right parts of the ship? and how do you find out what parts to hit, i know how to aim. I am running GWX. Maybe the ship was empty but it was on its way to Norway. I guess i am right in saying this is a ammo ship!!!

Thanks

Unless this happens with every Pyro ship you sink, then you don't have a problem. You won't get spectacular fireworks everytime.

IIRC GWX has tuned down the number of explosions you can expect.

Maybe the ship wasn't fully loaded.

Btw, CHECK MY AVATAR!

I've had this happen before but generally they blow up with a single fish. I've found when they don't immediately explode they can be tough nuts to crack.

I don't always get big booms with pyro ships because it's an ammo ship doesn't mean it got to carry ammo,I even hit a depot ship once and thinking it was resupplying all those subs,it would be fully loaded with things that go boom,it didn't.

It happened also to me - 2 hits into Pyro (3 m deep, impact trigger) and it even didn't sink. As it was in a convoy, I didn't manage to get close enough next time to finish the job. In the same time i also hit Whale Company Ship with 1 torpedo and it sunk like ton of steel at once... That was strange, but what to do? He could just carry water as ballast, couldn't he?

Just got one in the Med, and with four deckgun shots, it was over for it. Huge fire!
The rest of the patrol is very boring, no ships.. heading for the choke point around Lampedusa .. they have to pass there, 1941.
