As the first torpedo passed the second ship they got alerted and started to zig zag. No big deal. I dropped the speed in the TDC and fired at two more ships, 1km away, no problem.
Then.. instead of zig zagging, these merchants just turned and headed due south!! Wha!  Every torpedo missed while sliding along side rather than sliding INTO their side.  Totally messed up attack.
Ended up sinking one by my deck gun before high tailing it away from the incoming escorts. |
I've had them change direction as I'm stalking them - but never as I'm lining them up.
Lol - that's gotta hurt.
