carrier

U-84 · 02-14-09, 10:50 PM

I'm proud to announce i came across my first carrier in career

lol..casablanca class...problem is i'm 14 KM out...A DD has already suspected my position..the carrier is heading north and i'm tailing and i only have 1 steam torp...(only one left) and the carrier also has 2 other destroyers escorting it...starting to wish i didn't pick it up on hydrophones.

...any helpful tips other than shoot ur foot, and get a ticket home

Better just bugger out of there. One torp won't sink a carrier, although you might get a destroyer. If you try hard enough, of course

Ark Royal was sunk by a single torpedo from U-81.

If you're lucky you might be able to do it. IF you're lucky, and do it at night, up close, and place your shot well.

I'll give it my best...im tempted to reload a previous save and get in a better position

Plus, historically, a torpedo hit could potentially put a warship out of action for weeks or even months due to repairs.

Not that the game takes that into consideration, all or nothing as far as renown cares.

The game tends to smooth out your torpedo damage, not taking into account the skill of the repair crew.. bla bla bla. For this reason, carriers are nearly impossible to sink with a single torpedo

CVE = Combustible, Vulnerable, Expendable

I'd say that if you can hit it, fire away

If your determined to have a go......get into a position where you can hit her in the aft section. If you can bring her to a standstill her escorts will eventually leave her. You can then surface from a distance at night and lob shells at her.

Not very realistic, I know....but you did ask the question.
