Default I just took out two ships with one torpedo

I was messing around in Lock Ewe, where apparently they aren't very bright. I polish off a few warships and I spot two Elco's sitting in the corner about 100m apart. I decide to pull up to about 1000 meters and put my last torpedo into one of them. I set my torpedo depth to 0m and fire.

The torpedo ran toward the Elco, and I hit external camera. The torpedo hits and the camera swings around the dock so that a building is in my way. A really echoy explosion occurs, I see the Elco flying up higher than the building. It falls back down and I hear a big boom, my computer almost chokes, and I just see two big fireballs. I look at my map, and sure enough they were both destroyed.

The first Elco seems to have exploded, flown up, and landed on the other one. It's best to end the patrol on a high note, I suppose.

This is the only one I have. By the time I hit Print Screen, it was too late to get the ship in mid-air. This is a bottom picture:

You should consider a career in snooker or pool billiards.
