I figure I would ask here since I don't have much time to trouble shoot since it's coming up on time for national exams for my paramedic license. I'm going to try a few more convoy attacks and see if the problem resolves itself in 1943 since I only have a few months to go.
At any rate. I'm just going to pawn this off as "defective" torpedos and see where it takes me. I did score 1 hit out of 3 last night, but got DC'ed so bad I had to "teleport" back to base instead of making the return trip past England.
