used sunslayer torpeto hit ship 30 times, nothing happen
1) Gunboats are not battleships, sorry to tell you
2) In the single player story and in extremely high paying jobs (i.e. $150,000 a mission), you can kill battleships, like for instance a busted-up scuttled battleship once owned by, say, Rhineland, was found and repaired by Red Hessians, and is stationed about 20 K away from Stuttgard. You get sent to blow the crapola out of it.
My strategy in either of these cases:
-Buy an advanced thruster, the low thrusted train comes in extremely handy for afterburning--read the next note
-Afterburn around until it runs out, never take off afterburners. Ever. Make strafing runs and fire missile and torpedo salvos any time you can. Eventually it dies.
-When your afterburner runs out, put on cruise engines (Shift+W), weaving endlessly while they charge. Once you get up to speed, get out of range of the battleshp, and wait until your shield and afterburner have recharged, and you have calmed your ass down. Then, start over from the last step.
Basic Summary: Afterburn+Shoot-->Weave and Charge Cruise Engines-->Cruise around until recharged entirely-->Repeat.
Simple (haha) as that.
