After eight patrols in '41 & '42 in a Salmon and a Gato I have given up on the Dud Torpedo Mod. I really like the idea but out of the 8 patrols I scored no hits at all in 6 of them and in the other two I got 80% and 100% hits. The average hit rate of 22.5% would be fine if it were spread out more evenly through each patrol, but now I know that if the first 2 or 3 miss the next 20 odd will too, it's not fun anymore.

Thanks to CCIP for the Mod and Beery for including it, it's an excellent idea and if I could use it without the statistical clustering I would.

On the subject of single contacts appearing on the chart. I have always assumed these were sighting reports from other subs or aircraft. Regarding Ultra material, this was always so heavily disguised that no one outside of the Ultra "need to know" people knew that it was Ultra.
