Heheheh....time to start up those SADD support groups. Funny. In my case of SADD after fiddlin' with the wheels and dials and on the spot trigonometry I'm usually staring out my periscope at an empty horizon where the ships I was aiming for are already at anchor and the crew is out painting the town red. :hmm:

The payoff with SADD is that your senses are saturated, you THINK you set everything right push the fire button and....that's when you find out you forgot to open the torpedo tube door. Then when it finally fires the torpedo leaves the tube and takes an immediate sharp left toward nothing in particular.:damn::damn::damn::damn::damn::damn:

Who hasn't been there?

As a new tactic I have adopted, I make sure that i have 4 homing torps in my rear tubes, I try to get past the outer line of guard DDS and then when conducting my attack on the main inner targets of the TF/convoy, I line up on one of the DDS and fire off a homing torp. When they hit a target it is usually from a direction other than mine and causes the DD's great problems in trying to find where the torpedo came from....
