Ship DM

[Flanker15]

I was just wondering if anyone has killed a ship with their guns.
I raked a 16ft wooden dingy and a small barge up and down with 20mm APHE shells with no effect.
May be bugged?

I think so .. I tried the same thing after trying to bomb a tanker.

Just to make sure I set ammo unlimited and spammed bombs at one .. no joy

They call it "hardwood" for a reason. Duh! ;)

Tankers will sink to a 250 pounder easily enough. Been practicing in the Blenheim quite a bit. Just wish there were some proper merchantmen or armed vessels.

I found that when skip bombing a SD 500 into the side of the tanker, the ship shows damaged long after the bomb detonated, jsut under 10 sec later(fuse set at 0.8sec). I guess this is because the bomb breached the hull and detonated inside, but that may be wishful thinking. Is this familiar to any of you?

Why don't German planes have M-Geschoss( HE Round)??? I mean, in real life Bf-109 had them...:confused:

I found that online the tankers take 2 x SC500 (skipbombing, explosion visible) without showing any damage!

Yep I've sunk some ships with the bf110 guns before. I don't know what version the game was running on at the time. It was a fairly big ship as well.

Has anybody succeeded in sinking ships using skip-bombing?

Online player bombs vs. ships are a bit bugged, i.e. ships do not sink. Bots sink ships fine.

DM is great I think for a flight sim. Here is a sequence of screenshots showing Stuka bombs impact and explosion. Start with this slide and hit right arrows in fullscreen https://picasaweb.google.com/100217162670155530937/RepkaGallery?authkey=Gv1sRgCJGJtN_Yh4y4Fw#56128456 81088234562
