14 torpedoes

Bubblehead1980 · 06-01-17, 02:29 PM

Thinking back, believe this is second or third time I've ever been in a position to attack Yamato Class in RSRD(they are rare to spot at random, as should be) in all years have been playing and first time I've sunk one. Sunk in stock a few times but let's face it, that was pretty easy to do.

I changed the large ships like Yamato to an Elite crew setting because it was still little too easy in RSRD with them set to competent as are by default.

Long story short, I fired 15 torpedoes at Yamato late on June 18, 1944 in Philippine Sea and took 14 hits (Mark 14 and 18) to sink her. Pretty neat.Now to just improve other BB's like Kongo, which are far too easy to sink.

Full story and screenshots here.

Don't go too far though...

They were definitely easier to down than the "modern" Yamato!

Nice write-up on that, btw.

I won't. Just want to find a balance. Definitely won't be like the Yamato.

Thanks, it was a fun patrol.I tried to locate the TF with Taiho, Shokaku etc but always run into this one.
