Huge european liner?

If you use RSRD mod, it doesn't use the Euro, guess it wasn't historic, so not added to traffic.

True. Japan had a handful of converted passenger liners that were used for troop transport. Mostly she relied on converted cargo ships. However, none of them were of the size of this Euro-liner beast which looks like the Queen Elizabeth.

Bumped into one of those a few days ago. Heading North off the West coast of Luzon, trying to make good time for the strait.

Here she is up close!

She may outrun my sub, but she can't outrun a couple of torpedoes!

This ship was my first actual kill of the war...and my first successful kill with Manual Torpedo data entry!

My game of course is stock 1.5, I cannot seem to mod it at all, though I did just recently get access to screenshots finally!

Happy hunting!

That's a very nice way to start off your manual targeting.

A slightly dead thread...but!

I got my first Huge European Liner tonight. June, 1944. She was running in the Luzon Strait on a heading of about 220 about 60 nm West of Convoy College. She was making 15 knots and had three escorts- 1 out front and 1 to each beam.

I tracked off the southeastern flank and ran an end around. Fired 4 fish at around 3000 yards with an AOB of Port 60.

No duds (for once!)

She went up like a roman candle after the 3rd one hit.

In stock I've bagged myself 3 you can find them running out of Singapore in late 44 and off Okinawa in 45.

And people, believe or not but it's possible to sink that big momma with a single torp if you just hit the right spot :P needed a couple of reloadings to prove it right as I accidentally did it once but it's true
