In my last patrol . I had 5 torpedeos . I had been tracking a convoy and linning myself for a shot . I got the shot off only too see the torp prematurely explode in my estimate a few yards from the target . that left me with 4 . I than took anothe r shot and bingo .. Inpact . But the damm medium cargo ship was still moving and on fire . so I noticed a large tanker . I took a shot and it hit sqaurely at AOB 90 .. Bang . But the damm thing was still moving at 6 knts . that left me with 3 . so I lingned up on the meduim cargo set my peramitters and than launched the torpedo . It Blew up again prematurlly missing it again a few yards . so I looked to see I f I had set it for impact , and it was , I decided to take a another shot again the same result . ,

Now I have 2 left , I checked my settings , Lanunched the 2and and again the same result .. So I decided to leave that alone and concetrate On the tanker , The AOB was 135 . , My last torpedo . was launched , It hit the tanker only to bounce of of it .. Fustrating !!!! No torpedoes and a Rough sea . And I cannot man the deck gun . Luckly the tanker sunk , But I decided to ram the convoy ship . I did And no result . I have rammed small costal vessel and knocked them right over , I made the point to ram the cargo ship right were the torpedo hit and stuck my bow right into the hole . Nothing happen . OMG what A sim !!
So to you more expereanced kaleuns . Does this ever work ? . I have read the wiki on this subject . It seems that It can , what do you have to say ?
