117,791 tons

117,791 tons in one patrol, my best yet. Of course I didn't do it like most of you do, by cruising & scouting lol

I hit Naha & then Itoman harbors & then went down to the base by rabaul to resupply; then after dodging Japanese bombing raids I went into Truk lagoon & sunk a Fuso & a Yamato at anchor.

Boring by some standards but I enjoy sneaking into harbors....especially Truk.

this one is most funny, though it's cheat ridden so....

slapped on a S-18 sub, went from minilia, went towards naval arsnel in hiroshima, blew up everything in my way using deck gun (100m deck gun cheat btw), including 2 planes, went back out to sea, went to tokyo, blew everything in that harbor to bits with deckgun (again, with the 100m), stayed out of tokyo bay for a week, sunk anything i saw, thinking about going back to sabuya, found jap task force with 2 cariers, an ise, etc, sunk with deck gun, went back to sabuya.

total tonnage? approx 300,000
then again, i was using cheats. not one torp fired :p
story's moral? best meat is in hiroshima harbor, but watch the anti sub nets.

Who me? Mine are legit as far as no sub-nuclear torps or anything. I DID sink them all in harbors though, none were moving...as I said in the op; I snuck into the harbors mentioned, went & reloaded torps & went into Truk & sunk the BB's also at anchor.

I like sneaking into harbors & shooting ducks in a barrel.

This post just shows what a great game this is. Play for realism challenge, or play for kicks. Just play and pray for better offerings.

What were you using to sneak into the harbors?

Brenjen · 07-15-09, 09:23 AM

A submarine

vanjast · 07-15-09, 10:00 AM

Now.. That's cheating...

Saturnalia · 07-15-09, 10:26 AM

Fine, next time I'm using a kayak to sink the Yamato.

Brenjen · 07-15-09, 03:58 PM

The only harbor I've never been able to penetrate has been Rabaul. I die every single time....one day....one day.

Task Force · 07-15-09, 04:01 PM

Rabaul isnt that hard... it only has 2 to 3 distroyers patroling.

Brenjen · 07-15-09, 05:45 PM

Has been for me; I've tried everything I can think of that usually works & they always seem to find me.

Armistead · 07-15-09, 07:06 PM

Yea, you can sneak into Truk and always find a Fuso and Yamato and get 100K tons, then sink a few merchants in the shallows with the deckgun. I seldom do it, but one time is always good for the points.

Brenjen · 07-16-09, 09:40 AM

One time is all you can do it as far as I have seen. You can go back there but you won't find the big BB's just sitting there like lambs to the slaughter. However there are as you say a few merchies putting about in the shallows on the western end.

I just did a run up into the northern sea of japan & got my butt sunk in 170 feet of water by an armed merchant. Had several ships to my credit & had run out of every bit of ammo....including my AA guns & had resorted to ramming four sampans that I came upon (sunk 'em all too lol) When I decided to go back to port; thought I had enough distance between myself & the radar contact & he got me with the first shot!
