Just got lucky

I started to play with manual TDC and today i had real luck.
I managed to sneak into a convoy and had targeted a nice T3.
Speed was calculated and i used the fast 90 method for AoB.
Distance 450m. Great, all set up good. So fired a salvo of 2 torps.
Changed to the TDC display and 'WHAT, OH NO'. Stupid, stupid me

I had set the WRONG AoB.
So i hurry and change my settings and off go the next 2 torps.
About 5 seconds later i get 'Torpedo hits, Torpedo hits'.
What the hell, i swifel my scope and ,hey, i just sunk a nice T2 in the next row

and a short time later the T3 is hit and for once i hit it exactly where i wanted to.

So i turn to my Xo and smirk 'Nice tactic, what fritz'

and sneak off because i'm out of fish

Regards Dieter
