Scared a Destroyer so bad he shi@!

This doomed destroyer's route was right in front of the sub at 500m. Check out these unedited screenshots.

Before meeting my torpedo

After! Watch carefully the explosion midships....

The explosion is moving!

I scared the burning cra@ right out of him

More fire and smoke on the water than on the ship in these next two

Hehhe, Deep sixing a tin can is always gratfying. Yeah their not much in the way of tonnage, infact a small merchant is more tonnage then a Destroyer, but damn if they arent gratifying to torpedo.

My favorite is when i come accross one doing 25 knots, and i can manuver to be within 800 meters to target his magazine.

The explosion is like a domino effect down the length of his hull and his destroyed hull glides along a few hundred meters before he just slides underneath the water like type 7 uboat crash diving. Very satisflying to watch.

I got a similar effect playing a game, could that be the AI simulating buring oil escaping through the breach in the hull ?

yup it's an oil slick AFAIK good effect tho----watching the flames travel down the length of the ship looks like a series of chain reaction explosions--

Nice shots. As was already said, it is very gratifying to sink a DD. I love it when the hunter becomes the hunted. A while back I was on a patrol in my little IID. I was at the east entrance to the English Channel. A C Class destroyer appeared. It was at the right angle so I decided to stick an eel in his side. What followed was one of the brightest explosions I have seen in this game. Obviously, the eel hit the sweet spot.

Are you sure the torp hit? Reason being some sailor could have been out on the Poopdeck having a smoke. And, inadvertantly while putting away his Zippo, lit a fart. Ship go boom...big badda boom.

LOL
