I agree! I have good days, and bad. Over the weekend, the first convoy I hit had three T3 tankers in just the right spots. I fired two torps at each (four front, two back) set on impact, all within 15 degrees of 90 AOB, and every torp hit!

None of them sank. One was listing heavily(I ended up following this one for 30+ hours waiting for the weather to clear so I could use my deck guns), the other two were chugging happily along, so I loaded up the last of my torps, and being badly out of position and dodging warships, I launched my last four torps all set for mag detonation. And they mag detonated all right, all short of thier targets. The result, 10 torps, no sinkie.

My next patrol, I acquired a convoy, and managed one kill for every two torps, which is about average for me.

And I still have yet to the recog manual show any sweetspots, at any distance. :hmm:
