Default What is your fav boat to sink

Just wondering which boat do you prefer to sink. Mine is the tanker model aiming at the fuel tanks easier to sink than c2 and c3!

My favorite boat to sink is the one floating in the water within range of my torpedos.

If im faced with multiple choices i shoot the fat one and work my way down the list to the lightest one.

I'm with Goldenrivet on this one. It doesn't matter that much to me what I sink, as long as it is a valid target, I'll most likely take a shot at it. I generally stay away from battleships and task forces, so the chance for me to sink a battleship is pretty remote, especially early in the way. Later, when battleships protect convoys, maybe I'll go for one. I would love to sink a carrier too.

In general, the bigger the target, the bigger the temptation!

i prefer ore carriers and large merchants over the medium and large cargos (stock C2 and C3) as they seem to go down a lot easier with 1 torpedo

Couldn't agree more. Hit them in the bow area around the forward mast and watch the fireworks .

I hate sinking any of them. But, it has to be done, and somebody has to do it, so...
