So, did she sink?

I one time had a sub attack on surfacon an (I think) AKL. The skipper decided to fire 3 spreads
of 4 torpedoes, of those he scored three hits total, and then thought it important enough
to engage with the deck gun.

Funny thing was he did not even have high agg values, around 60something.

That was quite some patches ago though.

Remember what are you trying to sink. I assume that skipper looked at her while pushing the the FIRE! button and immediately turned to stone...

That and she was obviously carrying a $#!+load of ping pong balls - vital to the war effort!

What is this "happy" of which you speak? "Happy" is what I was before I discovered WITP! Now like everyone else , I'm "insane,tormented,and utterly devoted to this game".......

Most attacks were on the surface, with torpedoes.

In fact she still had 1700 cases of Foster's on board. The morale at Broome just suddenly plummeted...

Or ... what remains of the ship is still soaring through the air so there is nothing on the water to sink!

So you're saying the sub blew her out of the water? Hmph! I always wondered where that term came from...
