Dammit! How unlucky do you have to be to get that happen to you? I bet the captain of the C3 was peering through his binoculars and doing a little dance when he saw you explode!

Crikey! Talk about a bad run of luck! Can't say I've ever heard of that before, sounds like a shot in a million!

Welcome aboard, NoMan. On stock I used to regularly engage armed merchants, usually to good effect. Your case is one of extreme bad luck.

On GWX, surface combat is a suicidal endeavour.

The worst I've had it with Merchants was one occasion where I was closing in on this guy and he got a few lucky shots, damaged vital equipment and when I dived it just sank out of control!

I got sunk by one once too, but not directly

It shot me a few times, and when I went to periscope depth a few days later, the sub sank instantly. I guess I got shot up pretty bad eh?

My friend, my friends...listen to me! The enemy has gotten more skilled about how to counter a torpedo! I've shot torpedoe's at armed merchants & warships..they have made countless shots at my torpedoes until they were destroyed. Watch out fellow comrades, make it salvo next time!
