Will ships sink on time speed up?

BristolBrick · 01-17-16, 05:53 AM

I know that some games use different physics when time is sped up. (KSP would be an example)

And I hit a C-2, and the bow is on fire. It is moving, but listing.

Will it sink?

If so, will it sink if I turn up the timewarp? And how much can I turn it up?

I think it is listing more now. But6 at the moment, if I were it's captain, I would be more concerned about the bonfire on deck.

I hit it about 2:57 game time (AM) and that was at 3:32 (AM).

Also, can I kill it by ramming?

Some ships take a long time to sink. I'd recommend using the deck gun to speed things up.

Type IIa has no deckgun!

So, I tried torpedoing a destroyer head on. The torpedos didn't make him explode in the spectacular fashion I imagined. Then he ran over my conning tower! And I died. But that's OK!

Because I started another career with Type 7s! Oh I love that 88mm....

That destroyer captain may soon cop one in the face too!

BristolBrick!

Do remember to crash-dive your 'Kanoe'

at flank speed after releasing the eel in a down-the-throat shot at an oncoming destroyer...but do not turn as the astute destroyer may then unalign from your shot as it follows u on passive sonar as with the Polish destroyers in SHII's opening mission. if your sound-man announces depth charges in the water, indicating your shot has missed, then u may go hard rudder: port or starboard, to avoid 'guilding the lily'!

It seems that my torpedos o not damage stuff if they hit, I am using the Type 1 steam torpedos, I hit but they do not detonate. It is at reasonable angles too. And how do I stop them spreading like some-one was buttering toast?

That, is mainly why I need my subs to have deck guns.

Edit: I did dive, but that didn't go too well. It was just a bit too high, and the conning tower fell off. If I had not been a periscope height (I ordered a dive, but it was at that height when stuff went topsy turvy) then The sub would probably have deflected off the side of the Destroyer.

Or just went in one side and out the other! (I read that destroyers are quite weak in this game.)
