You'd think if nothing else, those 2 Cutie torpedoes would've blown off a propeller or jammed the rudder on the last destroyer.

Fantastic episode taff, best seen in ages.. wiping out those destroyers not only makes the sea safer for friendly submariners but the satisfaction when you kill the hunter.. no better feeling. Those cruisers sunk, truly amazing job done and there was no better in regards of a wonderful sight, sending two of the enemy's proudest cruisers to the seabed with those destroyers.. truly a jewel in the crown moment. The imperials will make sure to cover this one up, and will no doubt be fast to spin a false story, either way the enemy got a well deserved broken nose and black eye in this one, fantastic work. Awesome episode, that was hitting the enemy right where it hurts, true warrior skill.. you really let the enemy have it. The top Navy brass should be proud of you in this one, that shows how the US navy is coming back with a vengeance, keep it up and well done mate. Love this series.. one of the best ever seen 👏👍

That little man on the aa gun, was holding on for dear life as the destroyer went down, lmao.

I wish the 'Cutie' wasn't so overpowered in this game. Its warhead was only 95 lbs. of TPX explosive; which is 1/4th the of what the Mk-14 had. And since it homes in on ship propellers, a Cutie would rarely sink a ship, but rather cripple or outright immobilize it.

They seem to do almost much damage as a Mark 14. Taff could run a full load of Cuties if he wanted...

Use the cuties to slow down an escort. If they're disabled from the cutie, use a non-homing torp.

@@TonySpike HA ha! What? Wait. The fish is one thing. The submarine is another. The United States Navy submarine USS Balao. Mull that over and ask yourself how the name of the USS Balao is pronounced. If not how it's pronounced in the US, then how? Would it be the way they pronounce it in Norway? Sri Lanka, perhaps? Clearly, the US boat is appropriate with the US pronunciation. 🤣

Nope, it definitely was a Jap. Also, Taff didn't sink it, it just ran aground and exploded (AI ships do that sometimes in confined waters).
