New BB fighting technique with an S boat deck gun

Snarf · 04-28-14, 12:16 PM

First off, I'm using a new super sugar boat mod I'm working on, I went to work on a BB/CV group. I sunk a Shokaku, Hiryu, Ise, 5 Shiratsuyuu/Mutsuki DD's, and 3 cruisers. I damaged a second Ise, and completely crippled a 4th cruiser, the tanker and last DD went off on their way, and I hung around with no more torpedoes trying to figure out how to finish off this Ise without getting obliterated. My technique: staying outside 3000 yards (to keep away from machine gun fire) I ranged from periscope depth, blew ballast, dialed in range as fast as possible on deck gun, fired two, and crash dive. Then I interrupted the crash dive at periscope depth, ranged in, adjusted speed, blew ballast, fired two and repeated. Every shot was a hit, and every time the Ise would fire, he would have to readjust, but I was already back under as he fired his first miss. I repeated this until I was at about 10% remaining compressed air and the batteries were almost completely flat, but finally I hit a magazine and the Ise light up like the 4th of July, started capsizing and went under. I was running low on fuel so I left the last cruiser to fend for itself.

uh...what mod are you using? ive never heard of an S-boat sinking so many ships from a single convoy lol. i think the most ive ever done to a warship was sink a heavy cruiser but by then i didnt have enough torps to finish off the other one that was with it

well it's a special mod in conjunction with my super cutie mod. My S-boat holds the same number of torpedoes as a fleet boat, has a quick reloading system, built with the most top secret materials to withstand depths of over 1500 feet. Top secret propulsion systems that allow it to make 25kt surfaced and 18kt submerged. It also has well, a stock 4"50 but it carries HEAP (high explosive armor piercing) rounds.

I'm also thinking of giving it a rail gun too

BUUUUT, all those things aside, the technique is still sound for firing and avoiding.

Akotalaya it is called unrealistic mode.

It isn't hard to brag about the tonnage when your making it that easy.

I'm thinking I might try and do a full on 'cheat mod' and rework all the subs and weapons, rediculous amounts of ammo, rediculous crush depths (i found out that it hangs up below 1600 something feet), rediculous armor/hitpoints, rediculous torpedoes, ludicrous speed (sir, we've just gone plaid) and maybe a fleet boat with a Iowa triple turret for a conning tower etc. Just for when you really wanna go wreck some serious tonnage and have fun. Realism 0%, fun 100%
