I sank my first carrier!

It was the Hiryu fleet carrier with one destroyer escort steaming at 20 kts. It has been very rare for me to cross paths with a warship (in a campaign) of any type that is larger than a destroyer and even then they are steaming too fast for me to get my sub into an attack position.

I'm running TMO + RSRDC.

It's moments like these that make the game just fun to play.

few nights ago i found a TF, fleet carrier, escort carrier, cruiser, tanker, some other boats and many destroyers. I sunk the fleet carrier and tried to get away. The destroyers got me and i barely made it out. Some wounded, one dead, sub damaged bad enough to need repairs at home port.

Bagging a carrier was all worth it! Plus, you went after the most important target of the group.

Quite so. I still haven't seen a proper CV in SH 4 campaign. The closest I've got is a Chitose seaplane tender.

You must be unlucky I do not see them often but I have encountered carriers a few times my best kill was a Fuso though then after I got him I have not seen an IJN BB in two years of playing since.Maybe all these others are sinking the good stuff before we find them.

It is interesting that many new players seem to run into the Yamoto or a CV and get a kill maybe that is why some say they would rather be lucky than skilled any day.
