2000 ton depthcharge

So here I am, right in the middle of a convoy with no escorts around. I fire 1 at a medium target in front of me, a spread of 3 on a ship further away and a spread of 2 from my stern.

I go slow, here a big BOOOOM and the message that my first target is toast.
The seas are heavy, so I lower the scope but stay at periscopedepth, reloading my tubes. My target aft is hit twice and sinks, but my farthest target in front of me has only 1 hit, 2 misses.

I plot a course to intercept, thinking it will at least have slowed down, so 1 more fish should be enough. Then, all hell breaks loose...

Scraping sounds, my depth plummets. I order flank forward and rush damageparties on station. I have no idea what's happening. My depth continues to increase, the loud banging noises don't stop. Suddenly, I hit bottom at 56 meters. Damage goes up and up, dead and wounded are reported. I hit F12 to have a look.

Just for the death-screen I see this:

My first target slid above me, or me underneath it, depending from point of view, than sank :rotfl:
