Passenger liner woes

bookworm_020 · 07-18-06, 06:33 PM

It seems you have sumbled across the Passenger liner route. It you stay in the area you will get further contacts. There is a glitch in when you sink a liner, a ghost may appear and despite sinking them, you will get no credit.

A little tip, if you hit a passanger liner with a single torp, or a couple of deck gun rounds it will slow to around 7 knots, making it a easer target. If you use the deck gun, aim at the water line, especialy the high side of the ship if it has a list. (the side more exposed)

Meaning that only the 1st kill gets credited?

Curious why your traveling submerged durring the day in 1940? Is the Irish channel that well patrolled durring that year? Even if they spot me I usually have time for a crash dive that early in the war.

Your right there I was hunting a few patrols ago of the coast of Port of Spain and attacked a convoy consisting mainly of Troop Transports and it had a liner in it sank the liner and most of the transports,dropped back to reload and whent in again but failed to catch up and next thing a liner appeared sank her but no credit, (ghost ship) a little further on made contact again and fired 2 fish towards her as the torps hit her she spawned an vanished, damm annoying it is

:hmm: I had this with an C3, I shot it, Dived because an Warship was closing....she sank while I was busy getting away from the Destroyers path to avoid the Sonar. and I didnt get the message She's Going Down, and now sign on the Map. But when I sended an Status and Patrol report and recieved an Message the Tonnage showed up from that C3.:p

ps: the Next time Windows updat insist an Reboot, think ''Windows Can Wait, an Passenger Liner cant!''
