Ok I got out with my little S boat in tact. No torpedos left (stupid game bug where you dont get S boat torpedos) only 5% damage 2% from a plane earlyer. I sunk one Large Modern Composite Freighters and two Kuma light curisers. Amasingly I got so many Distroyers DC ing me at once. they actualy blasted my sub to the surface and I had to crash dive. The worst thing that happended to me was when one exploded right infront of me and badly damaged my torpedo tubes. (had none left anyway.

It's a new type of torpedo in the shape of a S-boat, designed to run on the surface. Any watchman on an enemy destroyer looking at it from a distance should spot it and think it's prey, and head over at full steam. Instead of homing in on it's target, this torpedo lures it's target to it. When the enemy tries to run down the (what they believe to be a) sub, they get a nasty surprise.
