Is this right? or is this wrong? I should get out if i'm already caught by escorts right?
- Regarding Convoys, How about Task Forces? How do i deal with them? Same Tactic?
- Are the lights coming from Destroyers (I bet in Morse Code) Legit? Like if we decipher it does it actually mean something?
- Which Sub Class is the Best?
Thanks for any Answer! |
1. I'm also not the top amazing captain on here but I've been successful. Typically I'm rather aggressive and prefer to make surface attacks at night, kind of a holdover from playing SH3, so I tend to let the escorts pass over me and then surface within the convoy. If there is a heavy escort I will sneak underwater to get close but if there is no escorts at all I will go in and engage with my deck gun instead. Something that helps is manually plotting the movements of the convoy on your map so you can intercept at the most opportune angles.
2. As mentioned they are very fast so you generally will not have a prayer of catching them in something like a S-Boat, any of the fleet boats you might might be able to but you will most likely get spotted before you get into a good firing angle. Best thing is to see if you are able to intercept the task force ahead of it which again can be helped by plotting its movements on the map.
3. As mentioned by others I agree it is most likely gibberish just to have the effect in the game.
4. Yep Gato and Balao are the best but really all the boats are fun in their own way. S-Boats are not very good but really it just adds to the challenge, you will get a real rush from a successful attack in a S-Boat. Honestly I like all the subs in the game.
I would also recommend watching some documentaries on US Navy submarines on YouTube to get an idea of the tactics used and how the fleet boats tended to operate.
GOOD HUNTING!
