I personally just had the worst batch of torpedoes in the Navy's history I think and I was wondering if anyone had as bad luck as me....

During my most recent patrol I came on a small convoy of 6 merchants and 3 destroyers... so I get into position and start attacking and here is my amount of bad torps... I had 3 duds actually hit the ships and bounce off and I had 9, count them, 9 premature explosions on the way to the target. So in anger I surfaced and actually gunned down all 3 DDs from 2500+m so they couldnt really hit me and just started picking on the ships with what torps I had left and emptied all of my deck gun ammo. 1 ship even kept floating with a huge list and I tried to ram it to roll it over, but that didnt really work, hehe. So I expended all of my torps and ammo for about 60k worth of tonnage. Not bad nonetheless but it was hard earned, lol

So my count is 12 duds in 1 loadout... Anyone get any worse than this or am I the unluckiest skipper around?
