Not sure if this goes here or not , but.....

Ok here's my story .(or problem).. It's late in the war February 1945. I'm headed for the sea of Japan , I see two lone cargo ships , hoping for a quick kill and tonnage I set up for a run , the boat is loaded with a mix of Mark 18's and 16's ....in the forward tubes ... I fire off two 18's at each ship , but they evade (may have seen my scope's wake it was day time, anyway I switched to the load-out screen I had mark 27's and a few more mark 18 type fish in the reserve holds as they were being reloaded I noticed that where the 27's were, are now empty and now the forward tubes showed that mark 18's were loaded (mouseing over the graphics's showed 18's loaded) ...

I thought this a bit strange as I had 27's that i thought were loaded ..I never gave it much thought ...figured the the game was just being buggy again.... anyway...I went ahead full and steered in the direction of the now zig-zagging ships ...Here's the really odd part of this tale ... I set up another torp run on one of the closest one's....and fired a spread of four of what the screen was showing as mark-18's in the tubes , I switched to the attack map to see how far off I was
at hitting my target .. I noticed the torp icons showing up on the map didn't look like they were moving

away from the sub .. I thought they must have malfunctioned (or something) anyway I went to ahead
standard and was going to close the gap .... I was at periscope depth, just for the heck of it I decided to get a outside view. I went under the water to watch my sub turning still at ahead full, just in time to see that the mark-18's that i thought screwed up ...were in fact mark-27's headed for my stern (all four of them) I hit “all stop” and dove the boat to 150 feet just as the persueing homing torp's went by the conning tower missing me by inches (so it looked like anyway) .... My question is.... has this happened to anyone else? ...I'm speaking of the graphics's part not being sunk by one's own fish..... I wouldn't think this is a Mod problem , but who knows.....Here is my mod list if anyone sees a conflict or knows what's going on let me know.

This happened to me once before except i could not dive in time:cry:.

I ordered flank speed and crash dive but they hit my conning tower and ended my ONLY succsesful career.

Im not sure what causes this but it is really annoying.

Sorry I could not be more help.

Edit: re-read the post yes I have had that alot lately my sub says I have MK 18's but they are infact MK 27's anybody who can fix this please help

maybe because it's labeled wrong inside the torpedo files? (have a look with S3D, the acoustic is a type 18 in there)

At least now I don't feel like the "Lone Ranger" ...... Should that be recorded in the Capt's log , as a self-inflicted wound.....? :hmm:
