I fired a salvo and scored a couple of hits, well done, went deep to re load, had a few scary moments with some escorts. Came up for another go and fired at a troop ship, and then it happened, the technological breakthrough of the century, a circular running torpedo!!!

I remembered that there was some advise the Germans had re their pattern runners to dive after firing to ovoid embarrassment and tears so I dived, then to my surprise one of the Jap destroyers came in to dump some cans on me, but, ah.........he didnt figure on my circular running torp which blew him to kingdom come!

SWEET!!


I haven't had any circular running torps yet, or any duds or prematures yet either. ??

It's nice to know that they are modeled in the game. It is reports from skippers such as yourself that give the rest of us a heads up on the dangers of those torps and we can plan an evasion.

It would be nice to get some feedback from sonar though, a "hot, straight and normal" report or a "hot, circling and abnormal" report.
Hey, does anyone know what the report would be if it were different than "hot, straight and normal?"
