I am using a VIIB sub u-51, and I had my Pilot set on Magnetic. It was around 4 AM and dark. I had a V&W Destroyer in my sights [attack periscope] distance was about 3600 metres and I fired three torpedoes at it, one at a time and they all missed. I can't figure it out. The angle on the AOB was correct. The depth was set at 3 metres, calm sea, and slow speed. Any comment? Robert.
