Default Submarine documentary

I was watching 'Doolittle Raid' on YouTube, courtesy of les green01's thread suggestion, and noticed this link among the YouTube video list on the right.


So we can watch this World of Warships video afterwards !

Default re: Submarine documentary >

Nice documentary. One thing I noticed was that the German Sub's were able to sink almost all ships with a single torpedo! The video also show most sinkings happening very quickly! This is very different from SH4 WOTP which oftens requires 3 or more torpedo's to sink a single cargo ship! Also, DD's are sometimes not destroyed by a single torp. Maybe this was designed in as part of improving Game Play? It does make me wonder if the torp's in WOTP are historically accurate? Any agreements or disagreements?

there are fix-mods to beef up the US torpedos, making it possible to sink ships with one torpedo. Check out the Downloads section.
