AWAITING ORDERS CAPTAIN: what should we do?

Ducimus · 07-29-07, 05:32 PM

I do them, occasionaly. but only when the risk to my own boat is fairly low. Im pretty sure harbor raids was a far more common occurance in the pacific in compairison to that atlantic. Besides bowfins battleflag which sports a pier and a bus, heres a persiscope picture from the USS Seawolf.

Their fun, but.... not always what its cracked up to be.

Large docked tankers/freighters in stock SH IV need up to 6-7 torps before they sink. Not worth the trouble.

If I gots capital ships nearby ... especially sitting idle .. as in ducks, I take it out too!

As for the DD circleing ... he'd be next.

I won't surface in the sight of ships that might have a good chance of blowin me outta the water when my intent it to stay in the water.

I stay in DEEP water, that shallow stuff is for the birds....

Get one tube loaded

Swing the boat around and head out

Emergency surface at flank, man the deck gun and blast away

Line up on the charging DD, dive and fire that torpedo....

Keep sheling the DD's bow to hoepfully destroy the Forward Gun

Run like hell and steer to one side and get out to deep water

:rotfl:

Watch as they tear you apart...

Make a stealthy escape, but hit her with a couple of stern launched torps on the way out.
