Invulnerable British Sub

Nico09 · 03-29-10, 10:50 AM

Found my first Brit Sub North of Scotland, plotted an intercept course and unleashed 2 torpedeos at her broadside.............. 2 x Impact and all she did was crash dived (dove) and that was it :@

Not amused

That's not good

I'm thinking (hoping?) that once people get the ship importing process figured out, as part of that, the damage modelling will be tweaked as well.

Oh my you wasted two fish at 40,000 marks each on a sub?

Nico09 · 03-29-10, 11:07 AM

I would have only fired 1 and have read that deck gun was inefectual so i though a torp or 2 would sort it

. I would put 3 screenies ive got, but havent got anywhere to host them and then upload them

And that sub could have would have sunk thousands of tonnes of the fatherlands shipping :-P

Torpedoes for a measly 540 tons? what? The deck gun makes quick work of them!!

I've killed about 6 of them.

5 with the deck gun.. and 1 by pushing it to crush depth.

Ahhh i read your thread about pushing it to the bottom, thought the deck gun didnt work on them........ i shall try again

Deckgun works, its just that he was able to submerge before i got more than 1 hit on him ( i got kill credit because i hit em once). I should have started shooting earlier for that one.

Usually only takes a handful of hits.

But there is the famous sinking of a submerged german sub, of the norwegian coast by a english sub. The english captain fired a 4 torpedo spread and had a fortunate hit, to him it was worth it (german subs must have been priority targets).

Now, if I was the captain I dont think I would have surface and manned the deckgun. what if the enemy sub raced to me and fired a spread? A prolonged crashdive could take minutes and then baaaam!

(or, I could pick up the deck-crew later haha)

There was a famous battle between a british and an Italian submarine in WW2.

It's remembered because, at a certain point, the two vessels, unaware of each other position, surfaced one near the other. Caught by surprise, the men from the two subs rushed towards the deck guns. An italian gunner, probably in an attempt to distract the enemy, threw a shoe at the British

In the excitement of the battle, probably it looked to the terrified British as a hand grenade.

We don't know if this shoe was the turning point of the battle, but at the end the british sub was sunk. Desperation is the mother of virtue!

PS: the story of the shoe may be just a legend about the proverbial italian ingenuity ... or not.

Brilliant story

.

Also like the story of the Dutch submarine near Gibraltar... Dutch sub did see a german submarine (u-95) signaling him, the captain of u-95 didn't know that it was a Dutch model that looked like a german u-boat... Dutch captain fired torpedoes, and the u-95 went down!

Sunk with Deck gun, still no credit for it though

SabreHawk · 03-29-10, 01:44 PM

Well you see sinking subs is not the job of Uboats, and unless specificly ordered to do so then leave them alone.

Your job as a Uboat captain is to sink enemy shipping, not warships. That is unless it is part of your mission under orders.

To spend torpedos or any ammo on a sub is simply wasting them when they could have bagged a merchant, which as I said is what the Uboats were out there for.
