Thanks for the torpex hack. I'm running stock without GFO this time and the Mk 16s seem underpowered, so I think I'll try replicating the previous versions.
Tootsie Pops - that's exactly what I was thinking when I wrote that. With the better Mk 16s, my best was three hits minimum on a Yamato, stacked along a magazine. I think I once did it with two but the third hit so soon after, I couldn't be sure. OBBs, and anything else, definitely only one if lucky, usually two.
Someone at UbiSoft dropped the ball on relative structural strengths on some of the CV classes. The Hiryus often take an extra Mk 16 or maybe 50% more hits from the 5" gun(s) than the much larger Shokakus or Taiho, though I haven't shelled the latter. Considering the contrast between Shokaku's and Soryu's combat damage records, it's almost as glaring as having two Taihos in the same battle group. At least there's no third Yamato yet, although there was that second one off Samar (probably standing in for Nagato).
