Long time lurker here, not much posting. For the pure lulz, i fired two torps at a Jap heavy cruiser. He saw the torps coming in, sped up and turned hard starboard - away from the direction of the incoming torps. But then the stupid Jap captain forgot to straighten out, b/c he kept turning...back into the torps that had just passed through his wake. He took one just aft of the fore turret and the other directly under the second. I laughed for a solid minute. Took him only about 4 mins before his bow went completely under.

Still haven't worked up to manual targeting - easing my way there. Just wanted to say thanks to all who have provided such useful advice, help, and mods. It's nice to see a good community.
