This time, a G7a TI torpedo did a circle run. I was in the surface and nearly at a dead stop, well boat could not accelerate enough to get out of the way, torpedo hit me. large hole in boat, flooding, sunk.

Love it but first I was court martialed for sinking neutrals sailing in convoy with enemy. (Fixed that. New career started...lucky hit from a deck gun of escort during night surface attack.


Third, killed by airplane 90 km from port after highly successful patrol.


Fourth, the circular run.


Speaking of which....did the germans have problems with circle runners?

I've read on the torpedokrise (Torpedo Crisis) and no mention of circle runners being a problem.

yes, their G7a was essentially the same fish as our Mk14.
not sure who stole what from whom but, after all was said and done, it was like Spy v Spy in the old Mad magazine.
i do not think that the G7a/Mk14 were circle runners as much as the Mk18, but you could see them coming and they ran deep and they failed to explode.
it could be that an over-enthusiastic Ubi designer added it to the German side out of enthusiasm.
