Default Sank my first Pyro Ammunition ship

I just sank my first Pyro Ammunition ship playing a GWX campaign. There were two Pyro ships in the convoy. The first Pyro ship took one torpedo hit, but nothing happened and it kept right on going. The second Pyro ship took one torpedo hit, and then BOOM! Sank.



Good job GWX team.

I remember sinking my first Pyro, one torpedo and it looked like cracker night had returned to my town!

If you hit the Pyro in Under the first mast from the bow it will explode and go down with a single shot (hint, hint )

The very first ship I sank in GWX was a pyro.

I dind't know that one torp. would do the trick so i launched 2, and I feared the NYGM damage system, thinking I had to stay there for several hours.....I was wrong.....

The Liberty ship was my favorite to sink but I think the pyro has just replaced the Liberty
