USS S-41, Dec 12 - Dec 16. Philippines
Total bag: 1800 tons, 12 MK 10 torpedoes used. 3 hits: 1 exploded, 1 dud, 1 glanced. 9 missed.
1. Taihosan Maru 1800 GRT - 3 torpedoes, AOB 90 SB, range 350 meters, 3 degree spread, 3 meter contact exploder. First hit amidships, other two missed. Ship sank in 5 minutes.
2. Task Force, target Horai Maru 9100 GRT - 4 torpedoes, AOB 90 P, range 1100 meters, 4 degree spread, 3 meter contact exploder. All missed.
3. Same target after reload, 2 torpedoes single shots, AOB 180, range 3000 and 4000 meters, 3 meter contact. Both barely missed on port side, less than ship width.
4. Conte Verde 19 000 GRT - 3 torpedoes, AOB 90 SB, range 600 meters, 3 meter contact exploder. Single shots, first hit amidship-dud, second glanced off, third missed.
I really like these results, the frustration after botched attacks is roof lifting. Very good immersion, especially without external camera. Promising start turned out to be just awfull and sickening patrol. This is the way to simulate bad torpedoes and lousy results. Not by wrong data in different sections of the game.
