Can I model a wounded ship?

You've just been unlucky.

Most of the time a wounded ship will loose speed and fall back from a convoy. Personally I think it's modelled quite well, within the retraints of the SH3 code.

Try hitting a ship near the engine room, it should slow down over time and may eventually stop all together.

Someones read my tactics

The positive thing about the engine room shot is that even if the ship doesn't stop altogether but just slows right down.....the escorts eventually leave it to tend to the bigger flock....leaving the wounded sheep at your mercy

Thanks - I guess it's my aim! I'm still learning to use manual targeting - enjoying it, but much more of a challenge than having an expert marksman Weapons Officer do the solution for me.
