What happened to Princeton to make it sink with 1 x 250KG bomb? I've never seen that in game. Must be broken

Steven


You can see that in game too! You just have to rename the ship: e.g. Ryuho!!

She suffered a series of explosions which exaserbated things until eventually a torpedo magazine exploded, dooming the ship and severely damaging the CL Birmingham which was alongside the CVL when she suffered the big bang.

Fires --> psychological instability

Flood Damage --> plummeting bankroll



both of these combined means.. more money for the sharks

It is thought poor powder storage was the reason. Actually, they think the same thing happened to the Maine
(giving the US an excuse to start a lovely war of easy colonial expansion...Kind of ironic that is how we got bases in the Philipines). After that, USN paid more attention to powder storage...

Let`s face it, losing a CV to a couple of bombs is a huge bummer....But losing a BB to....Resting in port would freak out most WITP players

I think losing Hiryu, Soryu and Hiyo is a much different situation than losing Shokaku, Zuikaku and Akagi.

I can´t remember, would have to look it up on the first page of the thread, but it is already 3 years old and the game has long ended...
