Default Hmmm, what went wrong?

Hey guys

Executed my first harbor raid last night in my iid. Under cover of night, fog, wind & rain I slipped into Southend completely undetected...

lying at anchor and moored up were a pretty tasty smogasboard of targets... having 3 fish to fire, I chose a section of the harbor that had a medium cruise liner and a small merchant. Both were moored to piers.

I put two electrics on impact into the liner. The 1st about 35ft abaft the bow... The 2nd about 35ft afore the stern. Both set for 5m and impacted about 3m above the keel so they looked god on the event camera.

The merchant got the last fish also on impact, aimed for directly on the beam except he was moored at approx 50 degrees aob (liner was at 90).

No event camera on the steamer but i heard the impact...

Anyway, i confirmed the hits on the liner via event camera but my attention were on sub nets & destroyers... I successfully escaped the harbor but neither boat sank.

Should i have gone with 3 in the liner? Would magnetic have been better?

Time frame was Jul-40

Thanks!
