A few outliers does not mean it should be common. USS Buckley rammed U-66 and HMS Easton rammed U-458. The damage that lightly constructed destroyers took from the tactic led to it being officially discouraged by the Royal Navy from early 1943, after the HMS Hesperus was dry-docked for three months following sinking U-357 in December 1942 and HMS Harvester was torpedoed and sunk following damaging her propellers during the ramming of U-444 in March 1943. In World War II, naval ships often rammed other vessels, though this was often due to circumstances, as considerable damage could be caused to the attacking ship. Warships are durable, I assure you, the can ram. In fact the only time a battleship sunk a submarine was when HMS Dreadnought rammed one during ww1, cut the u-boat clean in half for no damage. Ramming has been done several times in naval history, it was encouraged for a time as a valid anti-submarine tactic by the royal navy. The incentive to ram should be nil.Įssex Class Aircraft Carrier- 36 000 long tons, equivalent to smallish battleships No I think both ships should suffer terribly for it. Would you rather have them just clip through each other? Or impact without any damage? But, these ships are player controlled in very much and Arcade style game. Both ships should get very badly messed up for ramming. Tanks rammed each other, planes rammed each other, but ships have not rammed each other for a very ling time. No sane person would use a ship of extreme importance to ram another ship.ĭo you know expensive it is to build an aircraft carrier? OR even a smaller vessel? Both ships would be very messed up, but most admirals would be sacked if those ships before they even got close. I've converted to almost 100% warthunder but I'll give it a go. Its better to have it in just in case, as you can clearly see in the video you won't have many chances to do it. While it wasn't used as a tactic, if an Essex class aircraft carrier rammed a japanese destroyer that destroyer would not be a happy vessel. Hopefully like the aircraft and tanks warthunder can do it better. In fact nearly no ship should be that close to another ship. So nay.Īn aircraft carrier should never, ever be that close to the enemy ships.
