I cannot praise this mod enough. Coupled with H.sie's optional mods in the new SH3.exe, everything seems so...realistic.

I always play Dead Is Dead, and the realism in this mod has me seldome getting past 4 patrols before I am sunk.

Anyways, my question is about the torpedoes sinking after late '42 when historically the Germans fixed (most) of these problems. I start a new campaign in April '43, lock onto a ship in a convoy, and the same thing happens with my torpedoes. This time the weather was all but still. No whitecaps to be seen and moving at 1/3 speed. These were a mix of III's and FAT torpedoes.

At what point after late '42 will the torpedoes become more 'reliable'. The documentation the come with NYGM seems to state that in early '43 I should have little problem with them sinking, but maybe I missed/forgot something since there is a lot to read for a new-ish player of this superb mod.
