So... I got it done

I rigged for silent running ~5000 meters away from them, did a little turn to get better angle and then let 3 torpedoes loose while starting to dive to 65 meters. All torpedos hit (no duds YAY!) and the cruiser was under water in less than a minute. Kinda made me feel bad to watch its light signal lamp blinking still when the command deck disappeared underwater. Last message probably was something like
Code:
..-. ..- -.-. -.- / .- -- . .-. .. -.-. .- -. ...
(f**k americans)

Anyway, after the cruiser was taken down I headed towards north to get behind them as they moved towards south, nobody seemed to know where I was.

One DD had stopped for some reason, it was just standing out there and flashing searchlights, probably trying to listen around and find me. I turned around and decided to give them a little headache as all other ships were now heading to wrong direction to find me. I checked torpedo reserves..

WHAAT!? Those damn landlubbers in Jawa had given me a full load of Mark 14s?? So I had one torpedo left..



I shot the DD, it sank with the first one. Secured from silent running and started steaming away from the task force. Nobody seemed to notice me even if I was moving ahead flank.

I decided to go back to Surabaya to refit (and hope that they'll give me something that I can use...) and met a few merchants along the way, seas were ridiculously rough, deck gun was underwater almost half of the time but I managed to sink all 3 merchants I met.

Refit in Jawa.. More mark 14s.. Perhaps they have some Japanese agent there?

So I ended patrol as it seems I need to manually add those mark 10 torps..

Apparently brass was happy about sinking the cruiser as they awarded me with battle star



Thanks for the tips and help everyone, I'm starting to learn this game
