IIRC there is some stock issues with recognition info? Ie the rec manual data is wrong; ie draught, length, etc? Also the magnetic detonators didn't work for the first few years? |
Well no.. I didnt fire stern and bow torps, i fired 4 from the bow, repositioned then fired another 4, non of them even reached the ship, and the plotting wasnt that far off. I guess it was just a really unlucky moment.
