Unrealistic Temptation....

cj95 · 08-26-08, 02:52 PM

Okay Okay.....I admit I had to give in to temptation.

I finally upgraded from my beloved S-Boat to a Sargo.....whoa....this thing goes fast.

Makes you appreciate teh ability to waterski behind your sub when used to be 10 kts was pushing it.

Was assigned a photo recon in RAbaul of an enemy Carrier.

After sneaking past the sentries I discover....

Whoa......not one carrier but two!!!

Okay okay...in real life there would be torpedo nets up, but I admit I had to fire off a salvo of four at one...reverse directions and use the aft tubes on the other.

BOOM BOOM!

Both sank, but crazily settled ont eh bottom with their flight decks still above water....oh well....a few pumps and a whole mess of hair dryers and they'll be good as new.

I feel a bit guilty since I usually go for realism, but it was too much fun to pass up.

Usually when we have done that, a whole herd of destroyers moseys over to express a very severe opinion of our tactics.

How did you manage to get away with it?... :hmm:

I'm curious as well, every time I've attempted to harbor raid, at least without being on a stock game, I get the shallow water DC of a lifetime.

Iv'e snuck in below the thermal layer, or GASP decks awash at night as close to shore as possible. On one of those I just destroyed all the sentries. Blew one up, and then waited for the next, then blew that one up.

Take a picture of the carrier, then send some fish that ship's way. Then run for, and dive into the thermal layer, and run silent.

Worked once. Once was enough.

I did the same thing in a 'stock' game a few patches ago.

Both carriers settled down on the bottom with the decks still above the waterline.

No credit for the sinking

LOL... Now that Im running with some mods Id never try that again. Hell Id be lucky to get in .. take the pics... and get out .... alive.

Ive done this mission in RFB and got away with minimal damage after I sunk the carriers. Those distroyers are hard to get around, At the north of the bays mouth there is a opening in the subnet that you can get through, But watch out for mines, there are some mines that are set along the net.
