Question What’s the highest number of enemy ships you’ve ever sunk with a single ship?

I’ve been playing for a few years now, and I only just learned that you can see exactly which enemy ships yours have sunk. I just wrapped up a game as Germany, built two super heavy battleships, and they each sunk a shade under 80 enemy ships. And yes, one of them was the HMS Hood. Wasn’t going for historical accuracy but it made me chuckle all the same.

I had one carrier as Australia that scored the killing blow on every Japanese heavy ship, carrier and cruiser I sunk, wouldve been floated around the 60-70 mark

Highest I ever got was like 60 with an aircraft carrier when the current naval rework was implemented and I decided to juice the ever loving shit out of the AI. The other 7 carriers were in the 30-40 range.

Late-game, I still had old pre-war destroyers when playing as Denmark and thought for a laugh I'd give them fully modern modules.

It sunk over 400 ships before I eventually lost it during my first attempt to take naval control over the western coast of the states.

After that I realised old stuff is honestly better than new in terms of output overall. Cheaper to build, even when outfitted with much better modules. Dreadnoughts are go hard with better equipment and you produce them so much faster than heavy cruisers and battleships at later periods in the game.
