Well, I did have that "Super Torpedo" mod activated (even though it was not effective since it applies to Type III torps and they are not available to me yet - I have yet to have occasion to see one in action. I have been playing 18 missions in this career without seeing this happen).
I also had the damage mod activated, the one where it simulates "holes" via darkened areas on the skin. Just before I went down I noticed a darkened area on the tip of my bow even though I was submerged.
I too have sunk myself in other careers like Mush has: a homer I forgot about or a FAT doing a ladder track that I lost track of. But this was a Type II regular torp.
I did not alter any files.
I was between 280 and 300 meters when the stern torp hit the corvette which I have done before with no adverse effects. (I have had occasion in other careers to be in a "dogfight" with a destroyer and when I hit it with a torp, the games has crashed and I was returned to my desktop with no opportunity for a save - this is with destroyers only)
This was so bizarre. There must have been about 20 or so ships in that convoy that all started to explode at once.
I saved just before that engagement. So, I'll have to see what happens in a "do-over". Too bad I didn't have the presence of mind to take a few pictures of that event! It was over before I knew it.
