Circular Run Torpedoes

I lost two careers due to inexplicable detonations ... it took the second time wondering how the heck I'd been blown out of the water before I had the "aha!"

The last time I fired and the steam wake wasn't where I was expecting, I immediately went to external cam, and sure enough there was the fish going in a nice, perfect circle. Fortunately I was deep enough to avoid being taken out a third time.

I realized a flaw in my tactics is that I like to fire my salvo from a stationary position.

New motto: Never shoot and stand still.
