I just played Fillipino Convoy and the U.S. escort found me. I was just a few meters above the bottom to be hard to detect, but eventually his helo fired a torpedo. I was waiting to try a nice-looking trick from The Hunt for Red October. I set the ship to ahead flank, and the torpedo started pinging. As the pinging got faster I fired CM's and Blew the ballast, I hit the surface at 32 knots. Smehow, the torpedo managed to go from 205 meters, to the surface, in under a minute and at about a 90*angle(it was heading towards me as i found out in recording). I even opened DW edit and found the angle to be 60*... Even with 3 Active CM's and an impossible climb angle, the torpedo still killed me, I didn't have show truth on so I had to rely on the recording.(apparently while u can't c them the ships teleport around the map???) I find this all to be extremely puzzling
