Flak exam in academy: suicide?

PhantomLord · 12-21-07, 03:28 AM

Yesterdays flak-training...

Survived without ammo, hull at 45%, 3 Hurricanes left, 2 of them burning like hell for hours

- training completed: average
- wondering about the 2 Hurricanes - they got the first shots at the beginning of training, trail of black smoke and heavy fire on both. They flew like they were completely new until the training ends

Yup, got absolutley shot to pieces

Managed to only shoot down 4 (yes 4) stringbags (swordfish to everyone else), before my U-boat took severe damage:

-flak gun destroyed
-65% hull intergrity
-50% crew killed.

I got a mark of average. Can anyone do any better?

- one man wounded
- one man KIA

FYI, You don't have to do the training missions to get the renown. You just need to adjust to numbers and make "True,+500" in each of the 5 categories in the training/tutorial folder (can't remember what it's called) in MY DOCUMENTS/SH3.

I tried it, yesterday, and lost two men, had major damage and critical flooding. I thought my boat would be sunk, but my THIRD flak gunner (the others were dead) turned out to be the best. With his help, I brought down all of the aircraft, except for one of the fighters (and that plane was trailing smoke and flame, when the Victory notice came up).

HINT: Go to flank, and make judicious use of maneuver, to throw off their aiming ...
