Hi John, I've beaten mission 17 but you need to come up with a different strategy than trying to shoot the battleship with all the enemy ships around it. The way I have beaten that mission is to make a diversion so the fleet will break up and hunt me. While they are hunting me I'm hunting the battleship. As soon as I can get a clear shot I pump my torpedoes into it, and then evade the hunting destroyers etc. Basically, you have to be more offensive in that mission, take a more direct roll, rather than trying to shoot the battleship by getting in a lucky shot. You can't hit the battleship while its being guarded, and believe me I've tried. The only way I have beaten it is an offensive one on one battle with the fleet.
Now, obviously the way I do it is extremely dangerous, gutsy, but the objective is to keep the escort ships occupied looking for my sub while I sneak in as close as I dare to put three or four torpedoes into the battleship. If that fleet forms back up and leaves the area the game is pretty much over because there is no way to chase them down.So you have to keep them hunting and seeking while looking for openings to hit the battleship. I've gotten good at these sort of offensive attacks. On 6/11/12, john <[email protected]> wrote: > While we're on the subject, have any of you managed mission 17?
