Baaaaaaaaaahahahahahahaha.. omg what a fluke!!!!
Ok.. so it's finally night time (about 23:30).. closing in.. but they are zig zagging 90 degrees port then starboard every 3 minutes.. by the time I've got a direct rear shot lined up, they are already turning again before my torps can get half way there. Second try after getting on their tail as quickly as humanly possible.. firing two torpedos from about 3,500 meters (the first one that was to be below the keel didn't fire for some reason.. must have missed the big red button in my haste), so there are only two travelling down the line.
About 1,500 to impact, the bugga turns again.. first drifting to port, then cutting to starboard to get behind the medium merchant. I'm tracking my torpedos then I notice something.. they actually look like they are gonna get close to hitting, would you believe it.
Pause the game, load up fraps (I can't work out this stupid save game/replay thing! Button won't work) and get recording.. watching.. waiting.. circling the camera..
Two direct hits, about 1/3rd the way down the starboard side at about 2 meters deep.. hit practically the same place.. that's my first surprise..
I keep rolling as I pull the camera outta the water and then I notice something strange.. the liner is starting to roll.. quite quickly to the starboard side as water begins filling the gaping hole my torps just opened in it. Within about 10 seconds the Japanese flag gets submerged as the big bugga rolls completely onto it's back. 40 seconds and it's totally gone..
2 torpedos..
Same place..
WOW!
Video to come shortly..
