I'm guessing it wasn't a dud since I didn't get a message saying it was a dud, but who knows. It's possible that a deep run happened, but I was using the T1 early war steam torps, I thought the early electric torps had depth keeping and pistol issues?
I know I didn't get the AOB wrong because I have tried and true formulas to figure that out to an exact number, as long as you correctly estimate enemy true course. I also visually confirmed AOB with the scope.
It was either a speed or course change last minute, or a deep runner, or a dud that didn't get reported. Either way, I sunk him, and now I'm going back to GWX3 because shortly after him I went on to sick a Medium Cargo worth 6,000GRT with one torp on impact, and it did the stock "split in two" thing
All is good though, as recently I've been doing more mod putzing than actual playing, so a complete reinstall of GWX3 is nothing more than a tedious way to spend an evening for me at the moment.
I've played SH3 until the cows have come home. Right now I think I'm just using it as an art easel to test mods and what not. If I screw something up, oh well, that's why I'm diddling around with SH3 and not SH5.
Well, gotta beta test stock SH3 to see if it's corrupted, then onto reinstall of GWX!
