Unlucky

On the way home after a decent patrol I had 2 torps left for anything I ran into on the way, A contact report came in for a task force which appeared to be heading for Loch Ewe so I got myself into position close to the shore and waited. After 9 patrols without a Battleship in range I finally had my chance, A Nelson class with 5 escorts so I fired off my last 2 torpedoes at the Nelson, Only one of them hit right on the stern and put out the rudder. The ship began turning to Starboard and ran into one of the escorts slicing it in two then continued running in circles taking out another escort which exploded and sank before the crippled ship ran aground. 3 ships sunk and no credit for it

Ah well good practice and I managed to make it home so I can't really complain.

Computers suck in many ways. If computers, or this program, were in fact smart they'd be able to figure out that you caused all that mayhem when you hit the ship with a torpedo. I mean honestly if this were the real war you'd be a real hero. Even though the Nelson sank the other ships and the ensuing collision caused the actual sinking you were the one who began that incredibly entertaining string of events. Alas.

It would have caused wet dreams in the ministry of propaganda, too :-D

Would be nice if we could get some kind of credit for damaged ships.
