A small update:
During my 2nd patrol I encountered a japanese task force heading for the Philipines, a large group of Destroyers, guarding... 8 troop transports!
I sneaked through the DD screen and hit a large passenger ship with 2 torps, and missed another one.
Watch that BEAUTIFUL smoke...
Then the DDs came to play and I had to evade and go deep. After a while they's lost me and I went after the crippled ship again. I was really happy since until then my torpedoes seemed jinxed, cursed and unmotivated. So I lined up a perfect shot, 700 yards, and let go... and waited... and waited... and WOAHHH!!! Explosion! A torpedo hit! WHAAAAT???!
Yup. My torpedo circled and hit my own boat.
I had observed weird torpedo behaviour earlier, but I blamed myself for screwing up something about the manual targetting. But now I know: the US eels do NOT only suck on a stellar level, no, they're even dangerous to my own boat!
As my boat sank deeper and deeper into the blackness of the sea I thought "Well, at least I sunk something with a torpedo this time."
