Fkin' radar.

Well, at least you had some ships in your sight... :/
I just found a C2 Cargo, single ship, no escorts whatsoever. First thought: easy prey, take him.
Calculated an interception course, got my boat aligned at periscope depth, stopped and waited. He took his time, but since patience usually pays off... Then, while I was taking some last measurements to cross-check with my earlier calculations and refine my torpedo solution, the ship literally disappeared in my periscope sight as if it had suddenly been sucked by an invisible fog cloud. So much for the easy prey...
