Funny I had a very simular attack off of Japan last night in TMO1.7 it was a convoy with two Hiura liners(the old twin stacker in 1.5) good size ship they had a 3 Akizuki one leading and two on either flank crept in at silent getting some quick scope peeks and also checking the hydrophone. They where heading SW got to about 4500 had 3 mk14 and 3 mk18s sent the 3 14s in at the lead liner fired the 3 18s at the second though in my excitment I fired them at too long a range but figured maybe he will evade into them anyway. After the last fish i went to 145 and turned 180 away I wanted try a 27 at the Akizuki on my side of the convoy. Bleww the first liner sky high. Turn my speed up to lure the Akizuki in he took it fire the 27 at his bearing. Evaded a can run fine still waiting for this cutie to hit went to about 340ft am listening to two Akizuki on my stearn and one way ahead. Finally I hear the cutie hit. I cant take it so I pause and take a peek the thing hit him about 12 feet from the stern I think "well that will slow him down at least" it did 10 minutes later he sank! And the cutie only helped me get away as they must have thought it was a regular torp and based on its precived direction they went way off from me never came near me again and I never went below 345ft. Just did my basics below thermal layer but not too deep silent keeping em on my 180 ahead full when the trian comes and the random rudder turns to keep em looking but still focusing on keeping them on the 180 and always moving.
