PYRO ship and no big bang!!!

IIRC GWX has tuned down the number of explosions you can expect.

Maybe the ship wasn't fully loaded.

Btw, CHECK MY AVATAR!

I've had this happen before but generally they blow up with a single fish. I've found when they don't immediately explode they can be tough nuts to crack.

I don't always get big booms with pyro ships because it's an ammo ship doesn't mean it got to carry ammo,I even hit a depot ship once and thinking it was resupplying all those subs,it would be fully loaded with things that go boom,it didn't.

It happened also to me - 2 hits into Pyro (3 m deep, impact trigger) and it even didn't sink. As it was in a convoy, I didn't manage to get close enough next time to finish the job. In the same time i also hit Whale Company Ship with 1 torpedo and it sunk like ton of steel at once... That was strange, but what to do? He could just carry water as ballast, couldn't he?

Just got one in the Med, and with four deckgun shots, it was over for it. Huge fire!
The rest of the patrol is very boring, no ships.. heading for the choke point around Lampedusa .. they have to pass there, 1941.

If the ship sunk due to flooding there is no reason to see fireworks. If you want to get big explosions and one torpedo kill, try hitting the Pyro in the front part (under the first set of masts). At this spot the ammo bunkers are located, and you maximise the chance of a big explosion

There's is a part of the Pyro which causes a huge explosion. If you manage to hit a Pyro right under her 1. mast it will explode 10 out of 10 times, so that could be called "cheating" but what do I care.:p:rotfl:
