Circular Running torpedoes

Phantom II · 04-20-10, 10:46 PM

On the 9th of January 1942, at approximately 0020hrs, the USS Thresher(SS-200) Commanded by Lieutenant Commander William Jackson spotted a Japanese Nagara Maru class Freighter at 133°41' E 31°30' N. The Thresher then dived to periscope depth to engage the enemy with torpedoes. After leveling out, the Thresher fired two of her Mark 14 torpedoes at the target. Upon realizing that the first two shots had both missed, Lt-Cdr Jackson fired another two torpedoes. Moments later the Thresher was hit by an unidentified object, causing a massive external explosion, which resulted in major flooding in the Engine room, as well as the Aft Torpedo compartment. The Thresher then attempted to surface, but the damage control crews were overcome by the severe flooding. Around 0035hrs, the Thresher sunk with all hands lost. It is believed that the Thresher may in fact have been hit by one of her own torpedoes.

So, uhh, this just happened to me, I'm running TMO, and just wanted to ask if this is actually implemented in the mod, or if it just happened because I somehow planned a poor shot.
