Back in stock SH3 I torpedoed a C2 but she didn't go down. I surfaced at 0 knots about 50 m from the C2 and banged away at it with my flak guns (I was out of deck gun ammo.) Had a great time watching the cargo boxes explode and what not and raking the bridge with gunfire. What fun.
But while I was enjoying myself a DD came up from the other side of the C2 (which I couldn't see because I was on the opposite side). The DD steamed around the bow of the C2. My watch officer calls out that he sees a ship. No sh*t, Sherlock. The DD opens fire, blows my conning tower away and I plummet to crush depth.
Lesson learned: Watch the horizon.
