Super ship

It appears that the European ocean liners are invincible..Six hits all torps put at 12' running depth...Walaa..It took on a severe list to starboard and the calmly sailed away...

Welcome to the joys of being a Sub skipper

You're not kidding. I had to use, count them, 8 torps on a Shiratsuyu destroyer guarding Balikpapan Harbor. The damn thing got damaged because she ground to a halt. I use NSM4 and I couldn't believe it. She finally sank with the last 2 torps. I even waited for 2 hours when I sent the first 3 into the ship. Just stood there giving me the El Birdo.

I once fired 4 torps at a Passenger Ship (Can't remember which) which was a part of a 2 ship convoy, the thing didn't even slow down, had to surface and finish it off with my deck gun (the other ship slipped away)

I caught one last night, hit it with 2 fish from about 1700 yds, and it went down like a rock in about 5 minutes.

sometimes they gone with just 1 torpedo but in the last 2 nights just duds ;(

My entire experience with Euroliners has been that they always sink like stones with 1-2 hits, even with NSM. Quite disappointing, really.
