Sinking the HMS Hood - Page 2

I suggest loitering due west of scapa in 1939, good chance of catching her there

well it's been 13 years lol

yesterday (1939) i was returning from the Corriente and i decided to pass through scapa, and just off the coast of scotlant there they were: Hood and Nelson, so i prepared the attack carefully i was low on torpedos

fired a 4 fish salvo on Hood, 1 miss 3 hits under the keel, she sank in minutes

then i stalked Nelson for 3 hours and hiting 1 torpedo after she stopped the zig-zag she slowed down
after that i only had 2 stern torpedos so i had to reverse, after a second hit she slowed down to 3 knots so i could aim the last fish and then she sunk

i hope someone sees this after a decade

... on a Mine-Laying Mission outside Loch Ewe, mid October 1939, I sank HMS Hood anchored outside the harbour, with the only 2 torpedoes at my disposal, in my type IIB boat ... HMS Nelson and a large Cruiser were anchored inside the harbour basin ...

One time i found HMS Hood and a Nelson BB sailing completely unescorted out of the northern entrance of the British isles, the weather was awful but i sent em both under

HMS Hood turned turtle.

My best score was in the Gibralter straits in late '40 career. 4 T-1's --ALL worked fired at long range to the detriment of the Nelson.

Best score ever achieved in SH III.

just sunk the 5th HMS Hood of my career. At AM65 i was just sailing past there in british waters when my WO spots a stationary warship, i figured it was HMS Hood so i lined up and fired 2 torpedoes between Turret A and B where the ammunition is stored and i got a big explosion and it quickly sunk

Maybe time to raise the difficulty...
