Ummm, I think the notion of bringing more than one torpedo is a good one. Sound thinking.

But, uh, yeah, um, a deck gun? You planning a duel?

sure, i do all sorts of stupid things. might as well try dueling with a BB. from what i've read here, most likely i'll find just some merchant shipping in port. in which case...

i've just upgraded to a sub with deck guns, my first deck gun...

on the way back from my first patrol i enter Scapa Flow through the western passage and see to wonder the Hood and a Revenge class ship and this is in GXW just to let u know and the year is 1939

sink the hood with two torpedoes unfortunely the Revenge was a different story

and emtmedic005 were u on the surface when u did all of that or submerged

Done it in my 1st Career in gwx (1.1) not tried it in (1.02) but now am in late 43 no way am I going in there. maybe in late 45 when the war is over I'll sail in on the surface.

I sank most of those ships submerged. I surfaced to get some external torps and i noticed a small ship comming towards me, the PT Boat, i took that out withmy Deck Gun.

I went in beginning of Oct 39 and there was a Revenge Battleship and an aux crusier

Revenge Battleships are tough!!! took 6 shots to go down. I made it out with 85% hull
and a destroyed propeller shaft, Flak gun, and attack periscope.

So Revenge BBs pop up in SC in Oct 39? Better take a look.

Ya the Hood and Revenge BBs are in SCFW in Oct 39 after my other career patrol. also, u cant use ur homin torps Z2, cuz it needs noise for homin on target.

Doomgiver · 03-06-07, 03:20 PM

a task force with the Hood and the Revenge can be seen just to the west of Scapa Flow around September 9th it maybe a latter date, i will check on it and get back to u

Both ships are in Scapa Flow near the western entance and they are there starting september 14 - unknown and this is in 1939 (GWX 1.02)

Anyone taking up Danurve's challenge of raiding Dover needs to be careful.

The eastern end of Dover harbour has a bottom like an upside down spoon!

Go too near the middle and you will run aground and your conning tower will broach the surface.

Strangly enough after finding this out the Kaleun in question along with all hands aboard found themselves somewhat dead.

Be warned.
