U-49 in midst of patrol; sank one C3 cargo ship and saved game. Nearly sank another C3 cargo plus a T3 tanker, but torpedoes malfunctioned and deck gun crews were unable to get to deck gun due to absolute BS excuse of "seas being too rough". Fired on tanker using aft tube, but after torpedo room forgot to set target bearing and fish went straight astern. Nearly shot highest-ranking aft torpedo crewman for that one! Plan on transferring several crewmembers and (if possible) demoting others. It appears I was too hasty in handing out promotions, as lately my crew has developed several cases of extreme incompetence.
