One hit wonders! (Tell us your one hit kill stories!)

First patrol, Konga class battleship, stationary, in the first harbor on the way into Tokyo. One torp, 15 foot depth, under the gun turret. Must of hit the ammo bunker. She blew spectacularly - the explosion rippled down the length of the ship, the seaplane tumbled into the water, lifeboats swung from their davits, and an antenna tower spiralled a few hundred feet in the air. The destruction sequence was just awesome - an example where SHIV is a clear step forward.

Of course, no one bothered to investigate. No destroyers came my way. I gather the Japanese were just not that upset over losing a measly battleship. This is an area where SHIV could use some of the AI aggressiveness of GWX.

I seem to get the opposite. I hit a ship with torps and they just float there. So far, I have had to surface and use the deck gun to finish them off. Or use another valuable torp.

The ships I have seem to never sink even when I hit them with 5 torps.

I also play on easy for now...trying to work up to 100% but...I'm not that good yet...that might make a difference...but it's common sense...if you shoot a ship in the magazine...it's going to blow regardless!

I nailed a Kongo in harbor and you would have thought I hit a hornets nest. I think the AI sub routine is jsut screwy though. I managed to get away thanks to fog and poor weather but still the planes had radar I think and only my fanatical gunner was saving us.
