Read up the war record of the USS Tang on wikipedia. Very impressive hit rates, especially with those old MK14 type torps.

Unfortunately, I guess, the torp was faulty, possibly the rudder got stuck or something resulting in a full reversal.

Wow, that's great if they modeled the circling torps.

It would be better if there were voices telling you
"Sir running straight(relaxed)"
"Sir, its torpedo is circling ! (panic)"
"Sir, your killing us ! (extreme panic)"

but its nice to have anyway.
