Yamato...

I think TMO and FORS are the same, not sure about stock, but you need to spread them. If it's late war, I'll shoot below the keel. The job is not to sink it the first pass, but to slow it way down or stop it dead on the water. I find hitting it below the turrets and near the props will slow it down.

DD's are not, don't shoot 6, turn hard and give it the afts also. Even if the angle is bad that one or two hits may slow it way down. The last time I sunk it, I hit it with all six and one aftM14. I was carrying cuties, lol, and those two cuties seemed to chase it forever but finally hit. The next end around got 4 hits and that stopped it. I remember having 8 left, 3 cuties, but it did the job.

The last time I harbor raped, it took 12 to sink it.

Cutie VS the Yamato... That's kind of like going after a main battle tank with a pop gun :rotfl:

Althought I did get an insta-kill of a destroyer with a cutie last night. Must've hit the magazine or something.

the yamato REQUIRES all 10 torps, you get parellel to her (preferably head on) so you get a rear firing solution the fastest.

wait for last second and let all forward fish go spaced apart if you can then WAIT untill the rear tubes can fire and let then all go.

now crash dive and get the hell outta dodge dont wait to see what happens. (if you have it use ext cam to watch the action)


the yamato can be sunk with 6-8 well placed shots spead out in different areas but most times you need 10 and if you try less, in most cases you wont get a chance to try again


try my torpedo mod and you have a torpedo test mission where you can see just what it takes to sink each ship, and if your not worried about realism you might want to try the mod too

I remember when I was on the Archerfish ssn-678 we had a picture of our namesake Archerfish ss-311 mounted on the Ops upper level compartment. It was a painting of the SS-311 sinking the Shinano. I wish I had that painting today....
