Cmdrcain -> Sub sinks Sub (2/17/2011 4:45:17 PM)

Rare action... My crippled sub...apparently running on surface gets torped by enemy sub and sunk

AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR Feb 15, 43
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sub vs Sub: SS I-172 attacking SS Wahoo at 74,123 - near Darwin

Japanese Ships
SS I-172

Allied Ships
SS Wahoo, Torpedo hits 2, heavy damage



SS I-172 launches 4 torpedoes at 2,000 yards



Ahhhh!!! So close to getting in port...

It can happen even when the subs aren't damaged.




Sredni -> RE: Sub sinks Sub (2/17/2011 5:10:44 PM)

This happens more often towards the end of the war when both sides subs are funneled into smaller area's. Early war I was shocked to see this happen once in the first couple years, but now in 45 it seems like sub on sub action happens every month or two.




Cmdrcain -> RE: Sub sinks Sub (2/17/2011 5:24:10 PM)

Yes I had non damaged shots which didn't hit,
but I think a damaged especially float damage such would stay on surface...don't know if code takes in account damage.

Subs sank enemy subs IRL – although the Allies had a far better record than the Japs. Allied subs sank at least 19 Jap boats. AFAIK Jap subs only sank one Allied boat: USS Corvina (SS-226).

Every month or two?

In the Downfall type scenario Ph and I are playing we've had 3 or 4 sub on sub sinkings per day on occasion... To be fair thats because we both flooded the Yellow Sea with subs to support naval operations at times.

OT (because not the PTO) pop quiz - Which sub is believed to be the only one to sink another sub while both were submerged in WWII.

That looks like the baby [&o][&o] - now what's her name?

HMS Venturer.

Indeed it is (and thanks for the piccy) - the way the commander plotted the sinking of the German sub makes for a great story too [&o].

There is a BBC Timewatch programme about HMS Venturer and the hunt for U-864. It is on YouTube:
