Here's an idea for the next update: A downloadable prescription for Xanax! First patrol in Sargo class, Jan'42, based in Java. Boat is Spearfish, sent to patrol near Tarakan Isl. Kudos to Lurker and RSRD, as I looked up the Spearfish, and her first patrol did take her to Tarakan amongst other areas.
After patrolling the alotted time near Tarakan, I recieved orders to proceed to the chokepoint near Ambon. While en route, I encountered a Japanese convoy with at least ten merchantmen,and five escorts. I was in good position with heavy seas to mask my presence. I ordered periscope depth, and turned on a course to intercept. I timed one of the ships, and concluded the convoy was steaming at 8kts. I chose my targets, set the torpedoes, and fired all tubes (only 4 bow tubes in Sargo). The minutes ticked by. Torpedo is a dud sir! Torpedo is a dud sir! Torpedo is a dud sir! You get the picture. I found myself yelling at my monitor screen
It's hard not to get carried away!
