Surface close enough that she can't shoot down to your boat. You won't be able to lower your gun low enough for waterline shots so try for an ammo bunker or fuel bunker. A very handy technique for dead in the water merchants who would try to sink you!!

You sould be able to lower your gun low enough and still be able to keep out of reach of her guns. Try and aim along the hull as it will open more of her up to flooding!

Well, well .... funny reading you all guys. I was in the same situation and frankly it's fubar mission. The only way to sink it is ...... to modify gun.zone or gun.sim file (I don't remember which one at this time) and set your guns minimum about 500% of it's initial firepower.
The huk is ...... your last save may not load. So .... thats make it only fire and forget suggestion. Firing on BB at point blank range won't even scratch it's paint. :rotfl: And something else ... i do not suggest gun duel with this baby at any distance shorter than 8 km (if it's still afloat and you're not attacking it from distance up to aprox. 50 m. - It has some minor guns and AA sets). I'd tried it ones at 8km with 2 BB's (I was very stupid and unexperienced that early times) and than could see some sand at the bottom after aprox. 2 minutes. :rotfl:

- Gute jagd after all. I may be wrong.

Definitely the contact report. A DIW Renown and no torpedos is what we call "time to share."

Yes. Console yourself that you have put a major enemy warship out of action for quite a while and that's if she survives to be towed in.

Too bad the game doesn't allow you to get 'damaged' credit.

If the weather turned would that sink her with high waves?
