Default Nasty surprise. Immersion killer

First post in 2006 so 'Happy New Year' to all of you out there.

Been playing this sim since the very first day. Full realism and latest RUB and for the very first time i faced a real immersion killer. So this will be my first rant on this forum, and hopefull the last.

Never bored before with raiding harbours but on this mission i decided to sneak into Scapa and try my luck.
Survived the Western approach and eventually found 3 DDs anchored, not great but better than nothing. All were at engines full stop (i supposed), no smoke, 0 speed and no sound. Got nice and close to 2 of them (500 m) and fired my torps.

They instantly went full ahead, smoking like hell as if they had been attacking me for an hour. Missed both of them of course. Discusted I surfaced to end it all fast.
Is the same happening with capital ships in Scapa?.... I haven't tried the single mission.

cheers anyway
