Torpedo attack using hydrophone only...is it realistic?

Weisia · 05-20-10, 04:56 PM

Currently I am sailing in heavy rain, storm and fog and visibility is less then 1000m (already had a couple of merchants suddenly appearing from the fog with only 500m between by boat and the merchant) . Now I have a convoy report and it seems I have the correct course plotted. I am considering firing my torpedoes with hydrophone only but was this done in real life as well?
