Default Zig Zag... nope!

I was waiting outside London for ships or something and sure enough a full convoy appeared out of nowhere! The hunt was on!

I finally caught them heading due east and managed to get in front and lined up to hit the first three ships. Closer... closer... fire, fire! Waiting for the close one to cross my wire...

As the first torpedo passed the second ship they got alerted and started to zig zag. No big deal. I dropped the speed in the TDC and fired at two more ships, 1km away, no problem.

Then.. instead of zig zagging, these merchants just turned and headed due south!! Wha! Every torpedo missed while sliding along side rather than sliding INTO their side. Totally messed up attack.

Ended up sinking one by my deck gun before high tailing it away from the incoming escorts.
