I QUIT!!!!

by Knavey
After careful consideration of all of the @$#%$%^ frustrations I have had with this game...THIS TAKES THE CAKE...NOT JUST THE CAKE...THE PIE, THE COOKIES, THE ICE CREAM SUNDAY, AND EVERY OTHER DESSERT UNDER THE SUN!
Wasp sunk, NC damaged, and the OB sunk also! ONE torpedo salvo...ONE! I can't get my subs to hit 1 ship 1 times, but this IJN crack shot gets 5 hits in one salvo!
I QUIT....MATRIX...FIX YOUR GAME! NO WAY THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED IN REAL LIFE!!!!!! [:@][:@][:@]

That is indeed a hell of a sub attack. Seems you were massively unlucky.

Unlucky doesn't even BEGIN to describe it! [:@]
I am down to just the Hornet left for CVs...not good at all. My opponent has to be salivating right now!

Well, if I could, I would loan you a few of mine, i am not even sure what to do with them yet . I must admit, that seems beyond utterly impossible.

Very unlucky..were those the only 3 DD escorts you had or are there more not shown in the report?

I had about 10 escorts...not sure why they didn't show up. Sometimes the whole TF doesn't get listed.
That sub is going to get away barely scratched. At this rate, she is going to rack up enough kills to be an sub ACE before the end of the war.

Didn't this happen near the Santa Cruz Islands in 1942 or 1943?
Isn't this the same Knavey that periodically announces, "I've had it with this game; results like these just couldn't happen in real life!"
I swear it occurred to me three or four days ago that we hadn't had a "Knavey" in awhile.

The most effective torpedo salvo of the war [:'(]
But I think that WITP should model it different IIRC I-19 fired to a task force containing Wasp, and then the torpedoes traversed and hit NC and O`Brien that were following
Maybe two attacks ? [8|]

I suspected Knavey was up to his tricks when I saw the topic title. He picked a pretty well known historical attack for his example. That was the best single torpedo salvo of the war.

Heh, he should take a screenshot of the raid on Pearl Harbor and complain about that, too.

As an ex-submariner I find the results completely achievable. This was a rather poor sub captain, he should have gotten all the ships in the task force. The trick is to get into the center of the task force and fire all tubes at once, turn 90 degrees, reload, fire again. No sweat.

And sink himself with the last fish performing a circular run! [:D]

Appears to be similar to the historical sub attack against the wasp..
infinite calmness is required to by the allied commander [8D]

Cowardly sub captain! He should have finished the Task Force with his guns!
