Best patrol so far!!!

Wow, my 6th patrol was the best patrol ever!
It's February '43 and USS Drum has already sunk 20000 tons of merchant shipping on that patrol (I play at 58% realism) when I stumble over a Task Force with 3 BBs (Fuso and Ise), 2 carriers (Shokaku) and 2 cruisers. I line up for a shot and all my 6 bow torpedos smash into the Fuso sinking her immediately. I dive to 250 feet to avoid the DC that must surely come but those destroyer captains are either lazy or incompetent. So I rise back to PD and launch my 4 stern torpedoes at the 2nd carrier. The TF zig zags so only 3 torpedoes that were aimed at the middle of the carrier slam into her bow. The carrier takes a lot of water and goes down like a rock.
On that night I earned the Navy Distinguished Service Medal and I was given the command of USS Balao.

This game really rocks and I can't thank the devs enough for this awesome game.
