I have started a new carreer starting bergen 1943.

went to am74 for patrol, and on my way, pass throught scapa flow (love to do it).

Found my old friend the fiji class mate .... and launch 7 torpedo. ALL DUDES !!!!

I was so nervous, i evem managed to miss with my number 8.

En of mission = 1754 tonnes. Sunk a marchand using 1 torpedo.

waiting for patrol two to see if this is a bug or not .... (forget to say i switch all torpedo back to the prewar torpedo ...

Were they all on impact, and did they all hit?

And...Were you perhaps less than 300m from the target? The torps won't arm in less than 300m.

Or you may have bounced off the curvature of the hull if not set right.

Well,

definitly one of them was not arm , launch inside the 300 meters.

The others simply hit the boat, i the we keep saying, dud topedo sir ....

By default all torpedos are set to maginitic ( not speeled right ) detnanation ( not speeled right either

) ... I always set my torpedos to explode on Impact before leaving port .. Then if I want the other I switch and calibrate the depth .....

That is so, but when set on magnetic they will also go off impact. The reason you might change it to impact only is because bad weather can cause the magnetic ones to go off prematurely (nothing like firing these off at a destroyer bearing down on you and have it go off 50m too early! Damn!)
