I think if you dont use the scope for the deck gun, you can lower it further and eyeball your shots Taff 😊 It's been years since I touched SH4 but I'm pretty sure I use to do that pretty routinely 🍻 cheers!

Didn't think you'd be able to bag that carrier, after being spotted by the destroyer. Too bad you couldn't sink the heavy cruiser... and it's weird that it managed to get away even though his propulsion didn't work anymore.

I must say I am quite impressed by your enemy target speed guesstimations!

Woo-hoo! Cuties putting in work!

Good start to the patrol, especially that "hip-shooting" at the Cap ship. Watching this makes me want to play SH3 again. "Alllllaaaaarrrrrmmmmm!"

Can't believe the other hit didn't go down ... was certainly taking a lot of water. But hey, a full 4 torpedoes into the carrier, what a hit :) ... nice one.

Enjoyed as usual Thanks for the videos

Waited for this all week

nice sinnking of the carrier aand the ships, thank you Taff

Excellent episode taff, great start going pirate mode in sinking a few.. ( very possibly ).. Well armed fishing vessels with gun crews hiding with the deck gun, then topping it off with a small oiler in the same manner, that's more enemy oil destroyed and enemy life blood effected. A very handsome kill claimed in regards of that merchant but that attack on the enemy carrier group.. that was one hell of a great success. Great move in sinking that enemy carrier, no doubt that's going to benefit our friendly naval forces in numerous ways, and it's another crippling blow to the enemy naval forces, those enemy aircraft stored aboard that carrier you sunk won't be hurting our friendly forces anymore, also going to be another blow to enemy morale.. enemy propaganda won't be happy but that's a fantastic bonus, especially with those damaging hits on that enemy cruiser.. one naval vessel sunk and another bloodied up.. awesome. Never pass on the opportunity to sink an enemy carrier, and you got it bang on correct. Great episode, loved it.. new patrol is off to a beautiful start, looking forward to the next episode, congratulations and well done mate 👏👍

Watched and Liked 👍

Carrier sinking was quite impressive great video

That DD you hit did not look like it was going to be floating for much longer

Another brilliant episode!

You MIGHT try, armor piercing and aim for the boiler...just below the funnel

Yei!!!! Been waiting for this!!!! Thanks!!!

Good use of the aft torpedoes.

Always looking forward to another episode of this series.

THANKS TAFF...

Taff set your torpedo depth LOWER it will prevent broaching and duds, plus a low hit breaks a ships keel and they sink MUCH quicker. My go to is 10-15ft unless its a destroyer or small vessel.

Nice work

Thanks taff. Just wondering if you’re under water how do you know the 20mm gun is damaged 😂

those homing torpedos are goated.

Mark 27 "Cuite" homing torpedo, seriously aren't the best idea to use for an offensive role, except self-defending thanks to the low speed and light warhead. want to sink the destroyer by that fish? well, sending 2 Mark 27 torpedoes will reliably do enough damage, But not the single.

@@Mechanized85 mind you I haven't played the game yet but they really seemed to get those destroyers off them. One looked it was damn near dead

Qutee's I have found are more effective if set at prop depth. Actually can stop merchants dead in water and then can kill them with deck gun at range

Just curious. Have you found any significant differences between German U-boats (was it U606?) and the USS Salmon? Or maybe that is too much to ask of just simulations. Anyway, good episode, Taff.

Woooooooooo!

The MK 27 was not intended to use against destroyer per se but it was intended to fire into the path of slow moving convoys of cargo ships in the event that a standard attack was not possible or was too risky such as heavy escort screens. Once fired it was intended that the torpedoes on board passive sonar would eventually detect the sound of one of the ships and guide the torpedo to it

Regardless he definitely hit that destroyer and that DD was definitely taking on water

Actually, the Mk-27 'Cutie' was intended as a defensive weapon against destroyers. There were certain launch parameters that had to be fulfilled before engaging an oncoming destroyer. One of which was firing before the destroyer began a DC run, and then submerging below the Cutie's detection depth.

Just here for my regular message: Please post your IL2 set up Taff!

3:30 those aren’t crab boats those are elite hunter killer ships disguised as crab boats. I mean why else would the salmon happen to run into dozens of those if they weren’t after you.

Pinged - or pung? Pung is good.

Looks like those homing torpedoes did their job or the destroyers damaged each other somehow

That first torpedo to hit that Taiyo was right on her aviation gas tanks...instant death. The other three just made sure. VERY nice work! And congratulations, that score puts you at 461,090 tons, meaning you have officially surpassed the record! You are now the highest-scoring submarine 'ace' in history!

Disappointed with this video. You cut the video down to reduce its length, but IMO you cut the wrong content. Sinking defenceless 80 ton junks with the deck gun is really quite boring, far too much of the video spent on that. And you clearly cut a lot of the content on the really interesting part, the detection and approach on the Japanese task force, and even some of the attack itself. Poor editing, sorry.
