First off welcome to sub sim.
Glad you found them and they could help.
I dident have time to read your entire post while at work but seems like a good report.
Two things jumped out from my breif scan though.
"No torpedo impacts heard"... It is not at all uncommon to have two duds in a row. Hell I had 6 in a row one time. However there are a couple of things that alot of nubs overlook. 1.) Dont forget to open the torpedo bay doors first (Q key) forgetting to do so will screw with your solutions and make you miss aft. 2.) Double check your depth settings, WWII torpedos are notorious for running deeper than set. I generally set them shallow and go for impact detonations espically in rough weather.
"Subs wouldent run submerged at night in the rain"... Well they might for two reasons. If the sea state was high (big waves) its a hella lot more comfortable below them. Also they might dip occassionally for a sound check. In that sort of weather you can hear alot further than you can see. As you found out. If I was in transit though I probably wouldent bother.
Dont worry I have smacked into the side of a merchant more than once in bad weather. Stuff happens. :rotfl:
