[I'm goin' down]

Soundman, good advice re the speed. I had originally set it at 9 kts using the 3 minute rule. On another attack I remeasured the distance and changed it to 8.5 kts. After reading your post and laughing it off, I reran the scenario once again. This time I measured the distance on the TBT over a 3 minute time frame. 819 kts.!! I reset the speed, submerged and fired when the target passed a bearing of 9 degrees. 3 impacts!!! (three exclamation points - one per impact!). I did not even bother to raise the scope and peek one last time before firing, but I tracked the torpedoes via the camera. What about the fourth torpedo? Where in the hell did it go? I was so excited when I fired torpedoes, I fired nos 1, 2 and 4. MY GOD. I FORGOT NO. 3! Well, Uncle Sam is happy cause I saved him the cost of a torpedo.

Soundman, aka Problem Solver, is the MAN. Rockin Robbins, bless his soul, thinks I have a modicum of intelliegence, and simply assumed I could measure yardage over a three minute time period. Not the Soundman. He recognizes idiotcrity when he sees it. I owe you one, Soundman! Thanks a lot! Time for a Rockin Robbins celebratory martini. I have been saving it for a kill, and I have been dying of thirst for the last several missions.
