!$%§"&%* torpedoes....

[Zakalwe]

For the first time ever, I decided to start my career in 1939. I was ordered to patrol AM 32. On the way I stumbled over a taskforce west of Scapa at night. I decided to attack, although I couldn`t get nearer than 2 km and only had around 90 m water under the keel. The taskforce was formed by Hood, Repulse, 2 Southamptons and 3 DDs. I fired 3 torps at Hood, one exploded around 5 seconds after leaving the tube. Strangely, the ships didn`t evade, so still a chance of two hits. the second exploded around 50 m early from Hood, the last one missed or didn`t explode, don`t know....



I could have become a hero 1 week after the beginning of the war.

Later in the patrol I found a medium freighter in heavy seas, I attacked and needed 8 torps to bring her down... duds, premature explosions......

So here I am, 3 torps left and sank no more than 5,000 tons.

Now I can understand the frustration the real crews had at the beginning of the war.

"No duds" is still no option.

The new effects are great btw.
