honestly i haven't felt this bad since 9-11. my gun crew and torpedos had just finished off 15 ships in a perfect convoy attack - i know it sounds unrealistic but the conditions were these, mid 1940, large convoy far out to sea, no planes anywhere, perfect calm weather, moon lit night, only one DD defending it (don't blame me that's what Improved Convoy generated) and my first eel took out the DD by accident, the destroyer being caught in a squeeze of ships. so no escorts left and nothing but all the time in the world to sink ships from the surface at point blank range and yes i am using a delayed deck gun setting of one shot per 15 sec. but i had all the time in the world. i have never lucked out with this level of perfect conditions before. i was so happy on this last ship, the one that exploded, that i had just put on my swing music. then boom - no more gun crew and AA man!
if no one knows the answer to the range i suppose i can set up a test mission and shoot at a docked ammo ship from several ranges until i have the whole thing charted out.
