Silent Hunter IV: Sinking The Yamamoto
Posted: Fri Dec 21, 2007 3:05 pm
Folks!
Today I´ve had the time to fiddle around a bit with SH4 and so I started a single player game containing a patrol mission in the Philppine Sea in 1944. Here´s my brief story about my encounter with the Yamamoto in my Balao class submarine presented to you in a sequence of images ...
Enjoy it, folks!
Diving down to approx. 440ft at a speed of 8 kn heading SW
Sonar spotted huge fleet of vessels crossing from NW to SE
Mission´s objective: seeking, finding and sinking the Yamamoto
A flight of Wildcats kept the IJN crew on the decks busy
Getting up to periscope depth
Aimed and all six front eels off
Torpedos on their way, Commander!
All six torps hit the giant´s port side
GAH! She was still floating!
It looked like the IJN fleet was a bit mixed up
Taking a sneak peak on the Yamamoto´s starboard side
Obviously she lost fuel
Using the recently reloaded torps
Incoming ...
... and hitting successfully
In the meanwhile ...
This collision ...
... wasn´t certainly intended!
Naval AAA ...
... was still shooting down the cats
Appearing on Yamamoto´s port side again
Releasing all four stern torpedos
Looked good ...
... yet they hit much better!
Crew left the bleeding giant
There she went: Japan´s biggest battleship
Sinking to ...
... the Philippines Sea´s ground
I hope you liked it, folks!
