Thanks for the feedback aanker.
I went back out on patrol tonight and the torpedo tubes worked fine. It must have been a glitch in the game. Again, there was no indication of damage on the status page.
After several days without a contact, I ran into a large convoy escorted by three destroyers. I made a real nice approach on my main target, well, actually I all I had to do was wait because they came right to me. I was in the middle of their formation! With a positive ID I fired two fish; one dud, one miss. I don’t watch the torpedoes so I can’t say why one missed.
I quickly fired at a second ship and both of these missed. There were probably a multitude of errors made here; angle on the bow, ship ID resulting in inaccurate range…
This skipper need some practice (and patience).
I ran into a second large convoy on my way back to port, again escorted by three destroyers. Unfortunately I was “winchester” (no torpedoes left)! All I could do was hide.
But I had a blast. It’s an immersive game.
Appreciate all the suggestions and advice on this forum.
Oh yea, the sonar operator actually made some callouts on targets! Woo hoo!. He's still not reliable though.
