I'm currently running Operation Monsoon and loving it. It is early 1940 off the coast of Gibraltar. I'm in an early model so I only have three forward tubes. I come across a sweet convoy coming out of the straights and in the slightly foggy atmosphere run at them between escorts on the surface. 13 Knots is about as good as it gets but I line up on a huge tanker while the escort catches up to me.

I have loaded my boat with five(yes that is the total load out for this model) homing torpedoes. I pass in front of a merchant and come about hard to starboard hoping the now firing escort hits the merchant not me but she is close. I have to slow so the fish do not come back at me and dive. All three go after the tanker DUD

, DUD

, could be heard in the water and laughing

sailors from the merchants. I managed to get the other two off moving through the convoy, DUD

. DUD!!

The Germans had issues as well with the torpedoes. I was just glad the sun was going down and made it harder for them to see as I moved toward the back of the convoy underwater and once clear I rose to the surface and got away under cover of fog and night back to Cadiz for a new load out.
