Ack. I forgot this thread. Yeah, I did run into a huge ass taskforce at night around Tokyo bay. A Kongo, a Yamato, about 6 CAs, Tankers and a few CLs. I expended my entire forward tubes as soon as I got in range. The DD escorts didn't seem to notice that the Yamato was burning and three CAs had been sunk. I quickly booted it to flank and dove under the taskforce. I emerged on the other side, and unloaded another 5 or 6 torpedos from the stern tubes. DD escorts on that side seemed to notice me but didn't do anything. They just stopped dead in the water at about 1500 meters and I still had my periscope up to observe my torpedoes.
Little difficulty in getting away. I sank both BBs, 4 CAs and 1 CL. Light damage to the modern large tanker. It was still going at top speed, so I left it go. Too risky to bother with another attack just to get that tanker.
Very nice, all and all. Is there a standalone mod to keep the tubes open? I had alot of my torpedos missing because I was in a hurry to get the fish out and get deep before the escorts picked me up, so I flooded them best I could but some didn't open, others were half open.
