Most Powerful Ship Sunk With Deck Gun

Letum · 08-26-08, 03:31 PM

I almost never use the deck gun on anything but unarmed ships, but I know some
people take on destroyers.

Any one sunk a Black Swan Class or bigger?

How about Battleships?

battleships?
it is a joke?
imposible!
battleships have the

HP (health points)

For first - Your uboat change in the junk after atack on surface

Black Swan sinking is possible but from the really large range.

what game level? normal?

there is hmmm....

easy like this game level...

on 100% (im 100% real level prayer) real this trick is realy difficult.

Liberty Cargo..... those things have as many guns as a DD but are easier to hit at range

Also sank a Flower once in stock SH3, wouldn;t wanna try that in GWX

funny story.

i encountered a task force once in "stock" ages ago.

torpedoed a BB and the others ran off in the distance. the BB didnt sink, but instead listed hard to port and slowed to about 2 knots.

i followed him and managed to position myself about 300 meters off his starboard side.

his guns couldnt aim down enough to hit me so when i surfaced i manned the flack guns and shot off all of his open AA guns which were trying to shoot at me.

then i manned the deck gun and emptied every single round into him.

i dont think it made so much as a dent, but it caused a couple of secondaries and he was noticably lower in the water.

eventually as the escorts came rushing back from the now far gone convoy, i gave the BB a stern shot which finished him off.

i dont know about stock SH3, but i think in GWX large warships are pretty much impervious to deck gun rounds.

I got lucky with a GWX Corvette in Tobruk Harbour once. It ran afoul of a subnet and I just sat on her six and hammerd her until she sank.

No rear facing armament on

em.

Sunk an VW in GWX2.1 early in the war. Meet him in the night on the surface (2000m away). HE didn't spot me, so I draw first blood at the tail turret and after 10 hits, dive to avoid return fire. he sunk later.

Too bad. In real life they had a 40mm cannon on a bandstand back there. Could shoot anywhere but forward. Montsarrat tells a story of killing everybody on the deck of a u-boat with one when it was forced to surface and tried to attack from the rear. Pure carnage.
