Awesome, thank you guys so much. I appreciate it. I didn't know that torps had to arm, which is probably what went wrong. I tried to get as close as possible before firing so that the chances of a miss would be a bit less...apparently that was where screwed up.
Sailor Steve: I appreciat the info. In regards to #4 though (the one about evading Destroyers) they always seem to ping me no matter how deep I am, then hang around until I'm forced to surface. If I try to run, they follow me. If I try to fight or surface and move as fast as possible, they hand my ass to me in no time at all. If I dive as far as possible and turn off engines/go silent, will they give up eventually? This is assuming I've been spotted and am being attacked. Should I just wait them out? Also, do depth charges have a maximum depth? Is there a way to evade the Destroyers in shaddow water? I actually have sunk several Destroyers, but I killed all of them while I waited in ambush (who would've thought a war ship would die to a single torpedo while a cargo ship takes 2-4!)
Thanks a bunch guys. Again, I really appreciate the info and the link. When I read the review for the game on Gamesot, it said something about a several hundred page manual, but when I bought the game it came with a vefy brief and simple guide, which is why I'm asking so many newbie questions.
Thanks again for any help!
