Weiss Pinguin is was going to use a nuke but one of the heavyist battleships ever made would do.

jimbuna lol

Sailor Steve 100% realism with GWX, I've got very good aim and I lot of time, it was a 24 hour battle of surfacing firing and diving over and over again from 7000m then later 400m after I got his guns off.

CherryHarbey go try that see what

and tell me!
(I might try that myself lol)

"You're gonna need a bigger duck."

Update: I've sunk to about 150m before becoming stable again, still ok some of the escorts left but still about 20 left but is hard to judge due to the fact theres so many!

Haha looks like the whole Allied navy is after you. Wait a bit and the carriers will come join the party too

JokerOfFate · 09-09-10, 04:28 PM

Too late

I died because my NA is an idiot "depth under keel is over 1000m" I dive to 200m hit the bottom at 175m destroyed the boat.

But I did loss the escorts

So you sank Revenge with your deck guns over a 24-hour period from 7000m away?

I think we may have to cut off your ration at the Night Club.

1) to my knowledge, Revenge tends to shoot back. Accurately. With far bigger guns.

2) Revenge usually has a group of friends with it who are also armed and particularly good at swatting flies.

3) Revenge usually travels faster than a surfaced VIIB at flank speed, and you say you were diving and surfacing, reducing your average speed to far under flank.

And I have never seen a T3 Tanker in GWX... only in stock.

So... let's put that schnapps down and order a cup of hot coffee, eh?

JokerOfFate · 09-09-10, 04:48 PM

1) Yes, she did and I lost many a man to her

2)Yes, Good at swatting flies and very good at catching eels too

3)It was spotted at 7000m and sunk at 400m

4)It looked like one, but everyone makes mistakes good job I didn't sink it and find out it was a random fishing boat or something.

Cool I get schnapps

So, not only did you sink Revenge, using your deck gun, in a flank-speed race over a 24-hour period, at 7000m to 400m, but you also sank her escorts using torpedoes? In GWX at 100% realism?

Hey, I buy it 100%. Not sure Uncle Karl will.

Believe it or not I was actually out to get a convoy so all I had were Fats in the forward and a Fat in the stern, its a simple trick let them spot you dive to PD let them come then set the fats to um....search? the area premature, all hit but most were duds I reloaded hit the rest attacked the Revenge.

(Same thing I do with convoys)

and I didn't race her I just dodged her rams after I got her guns off.

Oh OK, so instead of engaging the Revenge in running deck-gun fight for 24 hours, in which you also killed her escorts by torpedo, you ... what... reloaded and what?

And capital ships don't try to ram you. Other than shooting at you and zigzagging, they don't take tactical measures.

Why don't you just take us through the engagement play-by-play. Because what you are describing is one for the history books.

JokerOfFate · 09-09-10, 07:53 PM

sorry I'm tired OK heres what happen as far as I remember.

OK after I destroyed the escorts I surfaced to take on the Revenge, it opened fire with its front gun killing my WO and destroying my flak guns I got 3-4 shots in before her guns reloaded, I was using the UZO to target her when she turned and when I saw all the guns on that ship I had the sudden urge to use the loo. It fired and they all missed, well they fell short by about the length of my arm, but the morale dropped nearly as far as my jaw.

Not so lucky next time they all hit but the big ones missed I think, the game changed to Cat and U-mouse. I dived went low and fast and ran,
I think she made room in her schedule this is where most of the 24 hours are. After running around for a long time, suddenly, "NA:shes going down"
I was like "Whaaa?". I surface no Revenge only a fireball sinking into the sea. Back to base check the logs "OMG! I sunk the Revenge"

Now no more 20 questions thats the whole thing (Well I had to cut it down a bit).

timmy41 · 09-11-10, 10:19 PM

the 88 would not have the power to go through a tank at 7km, nor the accuracy to hit it more than 5% of the time in absolutely perfect conditions. whats the chance of the guns on a battleship being disabled, when the round has a chance of nill to go through the armor, while shooting from a rolling and pitching platform while moving and shooting at another moving platform and doing this with only 200 or so rounds? I also forgot to mention all these rounds being HE and thus having little to no penetration ability, and even less accuracy due to inherent ballistic characteristics compared to a solid or semi-solid AP round.

Interesting. The last I heard, one hit from a battleship would sink a u-boat. Instantly.
