Harbor sinking...or is it?

01-04-09, 10:09 PM

easy way to finish them off in port is for carriers and battleships to go for the magazines in stead of a spread shot since they dont always have enough water under them for flooding so you will need secondary explosions to get the kill.

for battleships i put two fish under the rear turrent and two under the front turrent and that will usually do it but if not i put one more fish in same spot front and rear.
if its the yamato i put 4 fish front and 4 fish rear in the same locations then wait to see the results, sometimes that will be enough.

I love that upside-down gunboat pic! :rotfl:

That's why I hate harbor raiding - the ship may not register as sunk. I've wasted many a torpedo in futile harbor raids in SH3 and SH4. I guess I never learned my lesson because as with my first patrol in TMO 1.62 I decided to see what Tokyo had. It was about mid-December 1941 when I decided to have a look. I had USS Triton. When I finally made it to Tokyo there was nothing but some merchants. Not wanting to give myself away to any harbor patrols (a few auxiliary subchasers) I didn't sink any. I was making my way back out of the area when one of those dumb tugboats with depthcharges starts pinging me. I didn't think they had sonar. Well, the aux subchaser gets some buddies and I sleep with the fishes. That was about an hour and half down the tubes!

The IJN claimed all those ships at Pearl Harbor as sunk...

Most were refloated and got their revenge.

If it ain't sunk in blue water, it ain't sunk.

Well... yeah! Of course. Arizona blew in to bits, and Oklahoma had enough damage to roll over completely.

The rest were refloated to fight again.

Realistically, most ships hit at a DOCK would settle.
