Default weird torp

had part of my torpedo fillout with homing torps, and fired one off at a lone merchie, weirdest thing happened. The torp hit the cargo's props, spun around in the prop, and then shot off into the air some 100 meters, and exploded hitting the water. couldn't help myself but laugh at my luck.

I prefer the homing torpedoes that continually bounce off the back of merch's without exploding but continue to follow them like lost puppies.

Only ever read of that happening once before but never actually witnessed it

Would be a sight to behold
