Yeeeaaah, on my 1st patrol, using the vector analysing, I`v got myself a nice Kongo class ship, and sink it with 3 torpedo`s. It was a convoy of about 2 Kongo`s in the middle, defend by some destroyers, and cruisers. My first plan was to use slow and fast torpedo`s, and put both kongo`s out of action. That didnt worked well. For the first kongo I used slow torpedos, with a speed of 31 knots. For the second I used fast torpedos with a speed of 46 knots. The speeds of the targets was 14.5 knots. I draw 2 line for the torpedo speed, one 3100 yards, the other 4600 yards, and calculated the lead angles. Strange thing it the slower ones didnt hit the target, the fast ones did. What gives? Do I need another tactic with this one?

thanks guys
