1. The US, and other antions, entered the war in december 41, germany started the war in 1939 and atlantic operations began also in 1939 so the atlantic was FILLED with neutral shipping...
2. Chances... Thats exactly what I mean. Why the hell would someone even RISK this?
German Subs wasnt that trigger happy.
3. Even if you would know it is an enemy... Torpedoes were expensive and nothing to "throw around" with just because you could have the slight chance to hit a target via acoustic-solution. The eel would probably miss, become a dud (bad angle etc.) or what ever. Oh and by the way. The most eels didnt worked well during bad weather, especially the magnetic fuses.
It would be stupid to waste eels on a -possible- enemy target. You could need them later...
I cant believe this is something to argue about... It should be very clear for the most ppl here that something like this is absolutely unrealistic and stupid.
Made my point clear now I guess...
