[Platapus]

You would waste torpedoes on a battleship???

What do you think you have a deck gun for, decoration???

cissy!!

I remember my biggest prey so far has been a hospital ship and a line crusier. To sink or not to sink anyway they were too tempting not to. I mean that's the whole point of game. I missed

being just a game, I still can't fire (and wouldn't), an eel at a hospital ship. I've accidentally hit a neutral, in a convoy, after one of my eels went under a tommy merchant, and hit the "green" ship. (it didn't sink).

Don't you get shot for sinking hospital ships on RTB in game?

Might be lucky that you missed afterall!

For those bold, cheating or just plain lucky (I was the third), on the 31st of December 1944 in Grid AM 36, about 6 30 in the morning, two battleships with 8 escorts ran over me. Two well aimed torpedos were able to find the spot between the armor belt and torpedo blisters and sink the elderly HMS Revenge. The HMS Rodney proved to be far more durable, two torpedos wounded her and slowed her enough that two more torpedos could carry the killing blow. The depth is 112 meters and I was able to cuddle close to the sinking hulks, being lost amongst the twisted wreckage and after 2 horrible days I was able to slither away.

Two days without renewing your air supply?

Nice shooting BTW

Hah! I wish, we had to come up for air DURING the attack. The Royal navy had it out for us I swear, its like we slept with their sister AND owed them money. Really, sinking the battleships was a lot easier than getting away with it.

Aww. C'mon. They need the money to keep her in cigarettes and tatoos.

In daylight, you'll get a fair to moderate amount of damage for even emerging for a second. In night time you could have some seconds until you were spotted. Besides that, if we exclude the fact that the destroyers have limited depth charges, usually they leave the area after 6-10 hours of the last sinking.* So, two days is a bit too long. Cant say its impossible cause i dont fully understand the game mechanics but its highly unlikely based on my experience of the game.

*This tactic is guaranteed. I've been exploiting this for quite some time, during the Norwegian invasion. I spot a Task Force, fire an eel under the Battleship's engine room to break its spine and then hide near it until the DDs are gone. Then the great feast begins! Muhaha!
