Have you ever seen sub hitting mine?

Post by Apollo11 »

Hi all,

Have you ever seen sub hitting mine?


If yes, how did it happen?

#1
Sub hit opponent's defensive (i.e. at his dot/base) minefield.

#2
Sub hit opponent's offensive minefield.

#3
Sub hit own defensive (i.e. at own dot/base) minefield.

#4
Sub hit own offensive minefield.

I've seen 1, 2 & 4. (I am not including the preset defensive port minefields. They only seem to affect invasion forces close to the beach.)

Yes I see it today :)

My opponent lost a sub in the Slot by hitting a minefield I put a day before ....

1 & 4.

Opponent figured out what ports of his I tended to lurk at, and mined it heavily.

The reason I asked...

Hi all,

The reason I asked is because my PBEM opponent keeps several
subs in my ports and although they are all _HEAVILY_ (and I
really mean heavily) mined with several contingents payload from
my biggest MLs not a single hit on him (so far)... :-(

I've seen them all, usually a sub running into a defensive minefield, although plenty of damage to subs and other ships from offensive minefields at choke points (instead of dot hexes).

I have seen them all, with enemy subs sinking in my offensive minefields at choke points and enemy dot hexes quite frequently (sank three USN subs that way in my current campaign). I'm mining defensively and offensively as fast as my ML and subs can reload at Truk :D. What a wonderful game feature!

yes to #1,2 and 4

Most often #2


Question to Matrix or 2by3:

Is there modeled false magnetic detonator on new submarine's torpedoes? As new subs arrived (Gato class) I encountered drop in torp hit ratio.....several times I've seen things like SS Grabyck fired 6 torpedoes on anchored tanker and no hit reported....
