I never expected this...

Based on my previous experience with carriers, that was one heck of a hit!

The one and only time thus far I've hit a carrier, got 2 hits on HMS Indomitable, one midships and aft section. It sunk many hours later. No spectacular explosions for me, and I almost didnt live to tell about it. According to commander, I had 2% hull integrity when I docked at home port. You can imagine what a mess my boat was

Nice shooting Kaluen!

edit: Career 2, Patrol 6 if you're trying to find it in my personnel file

In some instances large warships have been known to sink in less then 5 minutes. In R/L it took the HMS Hood three minutes to sink. In SH3 it all depends on where you hit the ship and what speed it is going. Heck once I managed to flip a British battleship by hitting it as far up the bow as possible to avoid the anti-torpedo bulges. Had to be the funnest thing I ever did in SH3.

That's exactly what I did to sink a Renown class with 1 torpedo (I sent the other 2 I had to HMS Hood), punch a hole forward of the bulge armor and let it's momentum and the water take care of the rest Indeed one of the funniest things to see!
