A Battleship can take a Beating, but 6 Torps? Hmmm. Give it 2 More, and wait some time. It should sink then.

Circle around to the other side of the ship and give it a couple eels, one in the boiler room area, and the other towards the aft section, as the heavier propulsion equiptment will help settle her in the water, with your counter flooding hits.

Too bad they don't heel over like the real thing, from loss of stability from heavy listing.

The main difference is that with a magneto pistol you can get the torpedo under the ship. Its like "kick in the balls" you know what I mean.

And with electric torpedo you dont show propeller tail on surface.

I put 3 torps into the Nelson battleship once and she sank. That happened really slowly though.

I also read somewhere that torps impacting the same area twice has no effect.

Hehe what i do is kill the engine room on a BB then surface RIGHT next to her, she wont be able to train her guns on you...and if a destroyer opens fire on you 99 time out of 100 she will hit the BB instead and the BB will return fire and sink the destroyer

I believe that C-4 is right. The GW damage model is supposed to simulate various parts of the ship flooding over time.

So your first torp starts flooding in one compartment. You want to hit the ship somewhere else to start flooding in another compartment. Hitting it again in the same spot won't have much of an effect.

Barham did for mre in the single mission, 4 eels evenly spaced along the hull, she listed to stbd and eventually casized floating keel up for some time.
