1940 Gibraltor is pretty tame until later on. But hey, it's your boat and your free to fly about the oceans!

Take what opportunity has granted. If you save everything for later there may not be one.

I decided to blow a couple of medium merchants up and make a dash for the med, being chased out of the straights by anything with a gun mounted on it, got away though, now heading for La Spezia for weapon load and pizza, will head back to Gib on completion and give it another bash.

BTW: Why is it some times you sink a merchant with just 2 eels and other times it takes more than 4 to sink the same class of vessel??:hmm:

Im hitting them all dead center, sometimes they break in half, other times they just list over but never actually sink.

very frustrating

You need to aim for their wek points (fuel bunkers, engine room, etc) to get one shot kills. I get around 85% of my kills with one shot now since learning of this and it makes the job much easier.

It should be marked in your recognition manual (colored areas of ships).

Check these out for a more comprehensive view of the critical areas (these are for the stock version of the game but most of them should do the trick in GW/NYGM)
