I would highly reccomend gray wolves mod. With stock game I was able to fight off a wave of 40 or so planes (I had the radar turned on).
With GW you see a plane you yell ALARM!

Yes, you can sink battleships and aircraft carriers.

I have never sunk anything with aa gun

I have not played SH4, when it came out it was plagued by errors and stupid AI, don't know if that got fixed or not.

welcome Herr Kaleun

WILKOMMEN GENOSSE !

About 2 ) Theorically, you're only supposed to sink merchants, but if you sink 2 or 3 heavy cruisers, Uncle Karl certainly won't fire you, and your tonnage will go through the roof...
Look in the SH3 Community Manual ( Hunting Grounds ). After that it's just luck I guess. You can also have a look in the Mission Editor, I think, but don't remember which file must be opened ( Gasp

) Date must be adjusted according what date you're looking for.

About 3 ) You can adjust loading time through SH3 Commander otherwise you would have to tweak some file ( which one ? Gasp again

)

About 4 ) I did finish one off once, but only because I had nothing else
( no torps, no gun ammo left ) and had already been badly damaged. Took a chance, It worked, but I guess it woul'nt have done it from the outset.

Welcome welcome.

+1 for try GWX3

I have also sunk ships with the flak, but only after I ran out of deck gun ammo. Whether assuming I had unlimited flak it would have gone down anyway, I don't know. One thing is for sure though, I would not have sunk it using the flak alone given the ammo.
