I just tried again, I lined the shot up, set a spread of 4 eels, at about 5 metres depth. Fired them (admittedly the sea was choppy, but not rough), and they ALL detonated seconds after they left the tubes. Just 4 bangs, no sign of the torpedoes.

I can only think now that I have a faulty install, as this is blooming ridiculous. :nope:

Well I did sink four ships during that patrol, and only two after one torp hit had to be finished off with deck gun:03:

Lately playing with NYGM and h.sie's torp failures I'm getting actually quite close to historcal tonnage.

Ok I'm having more luck now, 2 ships, 8 eels fired, 2 torpedo detonations. Seems a very expensive process though. First ship ( medium cargo ) split spectacularly in the middle, but the second ( tramp steamer) took a hit to the stern, and after trailing it for most of the day in rough seas, it's burning but showing no signs of sinking.
So frustrating, 2 external eels left, rough seas, nothing to do but watch, and crash dive to avoid the aircraft I've attracted. :rolleyes:
