Task Force Attack

[CaptCrashDive]

So I finally decide to go chasing across half the map at one of the Task Forces Pearl Harbor keeps radioing me about. Jack up the TC, and tell my XO to wake me when we get there. 20min real time later I catch sight of it, nice box formation, with destroyers that peel off at random it seems to sweep for subs. So I am thinking nicely done devs, keep me on my toes. When I notice two ships in formation are huge. I mean Battleship huge. Now I played SHIII, not for months on end but a lot, and never saw anything bigger than a destroyer. Maybe I was doing something wrong. Doesn't matter cause now I am doing something right. Two Fusa BBs, so I set up ahead of them, wheel my scope over and stutter, stutter, stutter. Can't do anything, lag like you won't imagine. Ok, well I saved the game not to long ago, exit, turn the settings down, and load. No stutter, perfect. I like to go backwards so I do speed, 11kts, AOB 30, Range.... CTD. Crap. Reload try again. Never had this problem before, but now I do. CTD about half the time when I click the stadameter. Ok try different settings. CTD, again CTD. CTD again. then I hit upon it. Medium presets allow me to play without stutter, clicking the box for Light shafts and turning on 3D damage has, so far (2 hours) eliminated the CTD with the stadameter. Why? Don't care. Back to my attack. Reload, get into position. Scope up, Speed, AOB and Range. Turn PK on. Scope down. Set up all my fish. She should be close, 20 degrees of my starboard bow. Up scope. There she is right where I thought. Check the range, I was close so I figure my solution is good. I let all four fish go with 1 degree spread between them cause I always seem to be just behind, and I have them running on low speed to give me time. Goose the engine and show her my ass. Just about then the first hits. Crap I must have misjudged cause the jig is up. Too late now I reset the speed to 8kts, figure she'll slow down and zig zag. Four hits on the first spread, got lucky. Four more fish 2 degrees between them, two ahead of the first, one behind. Dive down to the deck, 100ft. Damn I didn't check the depth and it is shallow around here. Decide to creep north. 2 more hits, the beast rolls over and sinks. Check the sonar and there are 2 DDs closing in. Figure they are going on a hunch but don't have me pinned yet so I kill the engines. It must work, cause they close and circle near me but never pick me up or DC. After a while they zoom off to catch up with the convoy, I surface, reload my tubes and begin to make an end around to try for the other BB. When this game is working right, it is amazing. You just can't beat it. Plus, I have acually made runs on several convoys and sunk a BB. Just got to find a flat top now.
