A slightly dead thread...but!
I got my first Huge European Liner tonight. June, 1944. She was running in the Luzon Strait on a heading of about 220 about 60 nm West of Convoy College. She was making 15 knots and had three escorts- 1 out front and 1 to each beam. I tracked off the southeastern flank and ran an end around. Fired 4 fish at around 3000 yards with an AOB of Port 60. No duds (for once!) She went up like a roman candle after the 3rd one hit. Running TMO Last edited by Lannes; 12-04-11 at 01:16 AM. Reason: Added date. |

In stock I've bagged myself 3 you can find them running out of Singapore in late 44 and off Okinawa in 45.

And people, believe or not but it's possible to sink that big momma with a single torp if you just hit the right spot :P needed a couple of reloadings to prove it right as I accidentally did it once but it's true

I find liners (of various sizes) pop up as "small convoy" Speed= Fast.
they seem to be little bit of everywhere, random. Playing 1.5, no mods. |

I found one of these last night. It was all by itself; no escorts. Once I got out ahead of it (took a while, since it was going about 17 knots), I took my position and fired a single torpedo. My plan was to hit it once, then finish it off with my deck gun since it was defenseless anyway. Well, that torpedo hit right under the bridge, and the ship exploded. Must have been carrying ordinance or something. I got the "enemy unit destroyed" message almost instantly.
It was quite a sight! |
