Who else gets chills and nail biting stressed when your boat is being pinged and swarmed by torpedoes?

My logic brain knows this is a game. My fight or flight brain is trying to out maneuver while plotting retaliation on the offending unit(s).

While, yes, we're supposed to go undetected yet at times, almost everyone is going to end up with a fish in their proximity.

That is one fun aspect for me of this game, is dodging even a single torp.

Oh and Jive Turkey, if you read this? I've seen many of your vids, I can only aspire to be as skilled as I've see you bob and weave. Thanks for your work.

Ah, dodging Soviet torpedoes, the most stressful aspect of the game. It's a standing order on my vessel to keep a MOSS loaded in tube 4 at all times. One of my favourite tactics to use (particularly if the Soviet sub that launched the torpedo is at very close range) is to set speed to reverse emergency, wait for the enemy torpedo coming at me to arm, then fire a MOSS straight at the enemy sub. This often results in the enemy vessel being sunk by its own fish.
