... And now i get it...

[Garrincha]

Blowing up escorts with the 88mm is much easier than fighting them submerged... Has anyone tried to do this. A lovely convoy, with 5 torps left, 2 of them being the new T Ves acoustic torp, and a lot of cannon rounds...

pretty interesting: Flower corvettes blow up after 4/5 shots, and a Black swan isn't that much harder.

I play at 54%, should it be this easy?

Vanilla + 1.4b patch + Grey Wolves + GW 1.1 update

Cheers all,

No, it shouldn't. In real life one hit from a corvette's deck gun renders a u-boat no longer a u-boat. No one would ever have tried to do that.

Yeah this bugs me too, a u-boat dueling destroyers with it's deck gun... I don't think so

well he did say corvette and blackswan that's not really destroyer quality. still it is pretty audicious.

I'd take on a corvette with a deck gun but that's about it,as for a black swan no way i really hate them guys.sooner use a fish on them lot.

Surface attack a Flower Corvette.

Tactics?

I am curiuous as to how you go about that without taking a lot of damage in return.

If it was real life, I doubt it. You could put quite a few rounds into a corvette before it sinks. One hit, and your u-boat is now a surface ship, with a hole in it.
