My very first encounter of my current career was a Polish DD.
Had a beautiful 90degree AOB shot, and I gave her a full spread.....well for a Type ii anyways.
CRAP! Forgot about the steam torpedoes which quickly reveal my presence.
The DD does a quick 90 geree turn and I spend the net hour playing hide and seek in 25 meters of water.
The crew was not amused to almost get killed on day 1 of war.
