Hi,

4 out of 4 times I've attempted to sink a very small vessel (i.e. Flower Corvette or small merchant) the torpedo hits, but absolutely nothing happens! About 30 seconds later I hear the thud from the torpedo (or at least what I think is the thud, based on speed of sound), but no explosion! WTF?!

The Corvette was at 300m. I tried to sink the small merchant from 500m, but nothing! I even set the torpedo to slow in case it was a time delay vs. distance, but still nothing.

I ended surfacing all times to use the deck gun instead (getting shot at whilst I was at it).

I setr the torpedo to 0m depth. Is this a bug??? The times it does detonate, it is set to say 4m depth. The seas were calm with respect to the Flower Corvette.

I'm running Improved U-Boat V1.03, and Real U-Boat 1.45 mods on V1.4b install of SH3.

Any ideas????
