I whirled the scope about a saw a Hunt Class closing FAST!
24 Kts. just under 1200 meters!
since he was coming on our stern,
I ordered crash dive and made a quick course change
to bring him to a full bearing of 180 and snap fired my two aft fish
both set fast and 2 meters depth. By the time I fired the shots the
Destoryer was 600 meters!
I hoped the fish would arm before he closed the distance.
Just as we passed 25 meters..
Waiting for the DC to start raining down
Torpedo Impact!
Still kept diving and starting a hard port turn to exlude any DC's
As we passed 60 meters
we could hear the sounds of the Destroyer breaking up,
on her way to a cold and lonely grave.
The one and only head on shot, I ever managed to pull off
so far my personal stats for bow shots
1 in 40 or so attemped.
Total luck

That's great Cybermagi, at least I know that the bow shot does work. But firing them as you are diving, well, that's amazing
So basically it was a "blind" fire or did you have time to get the bearing into the TDC before you dove?
