Quick Q about a mission

[Packlife]

The Old Lion was understanding, met the first group outside the designated circle area penetrated easy enough but easy went out the window after that. When I got to scope depth which I set my self at 13 instead of 11 like the game does I notice the AC was way on the other side of the inner defense circle but I saw a battleship an a cruiser I hit the cruiser twice an took it out an the other 2 I sent at the battleship, but 1 was a dud. But the 1 that did hit it slowed it down pretty good which was lucky for me in the end, cuz thanks to the IRAI mod the destroyers came at me w/ a vengeance eventually I was able to come back to scope depth an launched 2 from the stern tube finishing the battleship. When I checked I got credit for only 1 capital ship the cruiser didnt count. So when I returned after refitting I got caught b4 i was ready an had to run, but in all the confusion the AC ended up outside the escort protection an a horrible storm kicked up huge waves an a straight down pour of rain. I just had a glimpse of the AC outside the group b4 it slipped into the darkness. So I figured being behind them in a storm w/ super rough seas I'd be able to come up from behind, I chased them for over an hour real time not seeing them but the sound guy using his passive ability said they were right in front of us an not far. I knew I was close behind the AC an when I got the lock thing showin up in the UZO I fired blind pretty much 4 different times but had to wait till i saw the lock thing pop up to fire each time hearing a huge explosion not even a full minute after firing, then i saw the stars fillin an knew I'd done it. It was tense boring an fun all at the same time lol
