Hits & Misses in GWX 2?

trongey · 02-05-08, 10:29 AM

I'm on my first GWX patrol (not counting the one that wouldn't load from a save). I'm a little concerned about what constitutes a hit or miss now.
I was just west of Lorient when I spotted a coastal merchant in the middle of the day. Weather was just rough enough to preclude guns so I dropped to scope depth. I fired a steam torp with magnetic trigger 1m below her keel - saw a beautiful geyser erupt under the bow. Next thing I know, my WO is announcing "torpedo missed"! I had accidentally left the event cam on for this patrol so I had actually watched the eel detonate directly under the merchant. Since when is an explosion under the target a miss?

PS: What's a Town Class? About half of the referrences I find say it's a DD. The other half say it's a CL. And I found one that says it was really a CA that they just called a CL so they could get around treaty limits.

(This is only in this post because I found one on the same patrol.)
