Hey I'm new to DW and not a big expert on naval technology... Anyway I was fooling around with the Kilo in a mission where your objective is to sneak into a US carrier group and sink a Nimitz class.

I got inside the group, ID'd the carrier, and let loose with 3 torpedos, then hitailed it out of there. 2 of the torps hit the carrier and one went off to hit a escort. The carrier just sat there burning with like 75% damage IIRC.

Anyway as I was getting away I turned on show truth just to observe how the AI reacts to my attack. There were helos all over the place dropping buoys etc, and one of them dropped a torpedo into the area where I had launched my attack from.

Anyway, the torpedo went in circles for a bit looking for me, then targetted and SANK the Nimitz! Is that something that would happen in real life or just an AI goof?
