Daring Surface Attack

[KeptinCranky]

Yep,
that's just when you get a perfect firing solution on an Illustrious Carrier, get the shot off, and 2 eels prematurely detonate, the other 2 just plain don't explode, even though they went underneath it at the perfect depth and angle x10

I'm now off to sulk in a corner about the whole Illustrious thing.
Don't get too confident, brave Kaleun(ette) = dead Kaleun(ette)

Oh I sank and Illustrious, I'd recommend it to everybody.

@Brag:

You are totally right. When Radar comes along I am really really going to miss my surface attacks.

I haven't even seen an aircraft carrier, yet.
During my last patrol, made a succesful sureptitious surface approah to a fast, armed freighter, only to Bernard my last torpedo. End of 1941, end of an era.

Oh well. We'll keep on frogging convoys

I've sunk one, but that was in heavy fog, only got a 2 second glimpse of it, just enough to know it was within 400 meters, I hit it with 4 eels and it went down but I didn't get to see it that was during the Norway campaign in 40, at almost the exact same spot where I met this one in 42.

would've liked to show off the pictures for this one, broad daylight, no fog, oh well

I crossed the Illustrious yesterday and with a calm sea, near full moon, those warships and dusk it was even daring to attack it under water. Checking again and again, got everything right and fired a spread of four from 2.5 Km distance. And I agree that is was a recommendable experience when they all struck the doomed ship.

There is a TF that crosses from Scotland to the Norwegian coast that contains the Illustrious. I've sunk here about 6 times but she just keeps on coming back

She has an automatic "respawn mechanism in her hull" :rotfl:

Perhaps one of the unavoidable downsides of the game.....especially when you work out the sailing route of those 'one off' vessels eg: Hood

[KeptinCranky]

Nah, You're all confusing Illustrious with Impervious :p

I found the Illustious west of England. Chance to meet here there again.
