Nuclear torpedoes. Joke! It is game error.

My crew had a hard time figuring out how to sink this carrier, we finally just rode around it and demanded it's surrender.

Armi did that happen in game or was it your doing with photoshop? Because if its in game thats a heck of a glitch.

What happens when you mod, you can get many weird effects, but you keep on learning...I've seen much stranger things.

I've heard of Crash Dives but I thought it was just for Subs ??

Yea, it was funny. Actually a TF came through. I had played with the turbo speed settings and the way they sit in the water...All the other ships in the TF did fine, but this one just bounced around behind it. When I finally got a visual contact, seeing it from far away bouncing on the water was rather funny. When the TF sensed me, this carrier stopped dead and just sat there bouncing...I tried to hit it with torps, but sometimes it was 100 ft in the air.

So herein lies the story of the USS Tambor, with a fresh skipper and crew ready for action in the pacific. Left pearl, refueled at midway and was enroute to area 5 when I dropped out of TC and picked up a contact at a good distance away. We were well west of wake by this time. So, I paused the war, grabbed me a beverage, rubbed my hands together with an evil grin, unpaused and started tracking. Turned out to be a pair of merchants. I set up for the perfect shot and lay in wait...was just starting to get dark and I let 3 torps go at each. Now, I had just loaded up TMO 1.9 and started a new career..didn't realize my event camera was turned on..but that's cool I thought. Normally, I get to see a vid of my torp..and in the background the hull of it's target getting closer and closer. Well, the event camera was triggered, and sure enough..there's one of my torps, but instead of the hull of it's target..there was this hull that looked amazingly like the back end of my boat. Holy Skittles! With those words barely out of my mouth, the boat was rocked by a mighty explosion, as I lost everything in the stern except one prop shaft and the rudder. Taking on water pretty fast. I ordered us to surface, cranked up the throttle and was going to limp away for repairs when I noticed for the first time that a hit was scored on the lead ship. The rest were either duds or I missed, will never know for sure. I raised up the glasses to see how bad off the merchant was..and low and behold..there she waved...the stars and stripes!!!!!! Well...so I ordered a full stop, stood down the DC party, neglecting to pause the war this time, I went and got all the beverages I had left...and sank.

After watching 4 torps bounce off the hull there was no way this one was getting away
