Way back when had stock game v 1.4. I had just read Richard O Kane's "WAHOO" for the first time and decided to try the "down the throat shot" on a charging DD after sinking a tanker with four stern torpedoes.Turned my bow into the DD, fired at 600 yards, , one missed, one hit right in the bow, DD exploded.Instead of hitting the dive button to get under the DD after firing, I hit the surface button by mistake and popped to about 35 feet before dive officer caught boat and stopped the ascent.One of two torpedoes fired hit the DD right in the down, blowing it off and causing a massive explosion, the DD was finished.However, the burning hulk (slowed but still moving at 25-30 knots ) plowed right into conning tower and side of hull where control room is, since when realized the error, was too late to dive under in such short time. Gato class sub(forgot which one) went under, hull damage went to 100, game over.
