Was a heck of a thing though, yet I quit the game in disgust straight after those torps miss. I don't react well to such things!

EDIT: For the record, in my entire SH gaming career, through all of them (bar 5, don't like 5 at all) I have only sunk ONE battleship. And it was in SH4 in another game.....i've never sunk a carrier either. Pretty sad to admit that, after playing the SH series for so long!!

You shouldn't feel bad about this. If you play the game in a realistic fashion, you will most likely not sink very many. I consider myself to be both knowlagable and tactically capable, but I have sunk very few capitol ships. In SHCE, I sunk only 2 light cruisers (seperate careers), and in SH4 only 1 seaplane tender (which was largely a matter of luck). Many real-life skippers, even the more successful ones, never sank a IJN capitol ship. It is just the nature of the business.

To be honest, I prefer it this way. If it were otherwise, the game would become a silly arcade game, and loose it's luster.
