I had three in a row

while doing research with WernerSobe's Natural Sinking Mechanics Test Mission for the Dick O'Kane targeting technique. I was doing perverted things with the American TDC to try to bend it to my will when a torpedo left the tube, turned right and did a lap around the boat. I must have done something wrong.

So I tried a different setup and got another circle runner. This can't be a coincidence! Maybe there is something to always having to enter range with bearing. I cleared out all TDC settings and tried again. The attack screen showed the torpedo track going out on bearing zero.

I got a third circle runner, which sank me that time. While reloading the mission, I tried to figure out what I had done to cause three torpedoes to go so wrong.

Then suddenly they began to go where I sent them. I haven't had a circle runner now in two months.

oh--you don't find them, they find you!
