But I was also able to loose all 10 torps on 3 different targets... sinking two and leaving a heavy cruiser listing to starboard and limping on 1 screw. I did that with 10+ DDs nearby, 2 other Heavy cruisers and a smattering of other military ships all within 3000m in all directions. Dang if I didn't get away untouched after adding the limper and a seaplane tender to the list. I just went to silent running and turned between a few ships then turned 90 degrees to the fleet's direction and cruised out on silent mode.... while the rest of the fleet pretty much sat there.

wooo.... i can hardly contain my excitement....
What year was this? I agree it was a bit too easy but don't forget the Taiho and Shinano among other ships were sunk.
