Ahoy Shipmates, I have just sailed across to Scapa Flow in late 1939 (Obtober), along the way I sank a couple of cargo ships, no problems there. But when I got close to Scapa I engaged a J Class destroyer, firing 4 eels, all of them bouncing off like Pamela Anderson hitting the floor after 10 cans of Stella.
My range varied from 1400 meters to 300 meters and I also alternated my eels from magnetic to impact after the first 4 missed. I have engaged destroyers in the past and killed them with 2 eels alone.
Is this a bug or just lack of experience, bearing in mind this is my 9th patrol in total of playing SH3 through various years.
I am now stuck 40 meters down with no eels left and 2 J Class destroyers circling above on the surface like a pair of starving vultures, my crew are shaking like an epiletic having a fit in a biscuit tin and my tower has been completly destroyed from depth charges.
i am about to tell the radio operator to put on the gramaphone and I am going to issue out a crate of snapps that i bought the crew for xmas and we are all going to sing christmas carols before we sleep with the fishes of the cold north sea.

In a word.....HELP!!! lol
