Good afternoon all, from a former infantry Devil Dog a bit out of his depth!

To start with, I was using Ralle's modsoup which includes TMO, OTC, and RSRDC mods. I took Rockin' Robbins's Youtube manual targeting lessons, and a few others to make sure that I was extensively educated in manual targeting, including in the Dick O'Kane method. Everything went swimmingly, using Dick O'Kane's method and normal manual targeting with the PK, for approximately...two days. On day three, I loaded up my game and found that using the Dick O'Kane method, from within 1000 yds I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. Or a Nippon Maru.
I gave up that method after three targets sailed by me without getting a scratch on their pretty hulls and went back to using the PK. This time, observing the attack map as I launched torpedos, I found that my fish went consistently in the OPPOSITE angle from the line indicated by the attack map. E.g., the map showed a launch at 10 degrees would be a good solution (which looked correct by my guesstimation) and the torps all took off on a 350 heading instead. I fought with this for hours before finding that on one patrol only the stern tubes would operate "correctly", firing on the intended bearing, then on the next patrol neither set of tubes could find the ocean if I told them which direction it lay in.

Any guidance on what the heck possibly happened to my shooting would be greatly appreciated! Beginning to suspect that maybe a corrupted file exists in the modsoup (every time I load up my saved game I get notifications that "Hull has been damaged sir!" with no corresponding damage shown and no contacts in sight, then it disappears)
