Well, that reminds me of a rather nasty encounter I had with a merchant and a bad angle. I forget what the angle was, but it was really terrible angle. I just wanted to empty the tubes and head home. 125 or so I think.
Anyway, I fired it off, it nailed him directly in that little area that's rounded around the propellers of the ship and richocced like a bat out of hell straight back at me. It floated down, as I watched in the event screen. Fair enough, I said to myself, and ran full ahead and changed course for home. So I was just going along on my way and I switched to the external view to google at my sub underwater and I noticed a little blob floating down towards the front of my sub! A quick check shows that no destroyers are anywhere near me, so it can't be a depth charge.
I zoom in closer and lo and behold, it's my tardy torpedo! I chuckled for a good minute and a half or so, then my amusement turned to horror as it sank directly on the bow of my ship and exploded about two meters directly above the bow. The last thing I heard was a jubiliant crew yelling "Torpedo Impact!" and jeering like crazy men. Then "We have flooding sir!" and I'm at the U-boat destroyed screen. The screen said my U-boat had been destroyed by collision.
Pretty wacky bug whatever it was, try as I like, I couldn't recreate the incident. Even if I sped up to get directly under a torp that dudded, it would still explode either far above me or far below me.
Just one of those days, I guess.
