Do the doors close after they have been opened? Or do they stay open? I thought they stayed open which I think is what he is saying: if he doesn't shoot soon after opening, he gets a delay, same as if he didn't open them first. ...
I would have turned right into them, so ahead flank and try to get under one of the BBs (there were 3) and I did but he was almost gone by, so I turned to get the stern tubes on him and shot at a terrible angle, knew I shouldn't but being half-fast, I did and missed all four shots. Quickly got my depth to 250 and 1 knot. All the time saying 90 degrees, 90 degrees, dummy 90 degrees. I should have waited for the next carrier in line. Another lesson learned!! (the hard way)

I thought he clearly said that he thought the game was bugged because if he shot without opening the torpedo tube he missed most of the time. Actually I still think that.:rotfl:
I've opened the tubes as much as five minutes or so before I've fired without any problems. I try to open them just before I take my last observation so I have it straight which tubes are open and which are not. The heat of battle fries perfectly good brains and all plans for battle have to be much simpler than you think they need to be beforehand, or YOU WILL SCREW THEM UP. If you underestimate your capabilities before the fight you will seldom be disappointed.
And that's a great story! It's the hardest lesson to learn. Shoot in haste repent in leisure.
Or cry. Or throw a temper tantrum.
