......and it STILL went all Pete Tong

I just snuck in past the escorts of a large convoy, perfect shooting conditions Pitch black at night, VERY calm seas, not even a ripple. I maneuvered the boat into a favourable attack position, picked out two targets, input the calculations, and fired off my torps at both targets.

Not even a SINGLE hit from any of them. either that, or i'd set the depth a bit too deep and they just underran their targets.

Running at 1 knot and rigged for silent, i couldn't reload, so, I swallowed my pride, and boogied on outta there.

They never had a clue I was there. But, I'd be a little suprised if any of you guys have had all four torpedos miss in a row. Rats thats a bit of a downer. The targets in question were a Large Cargo, and an Ore Carrier, would have been great kills.

Rather than reload the game, i've accepted it as errors on my part, and for realism, i'll let it slide, and blame myself. Either they were right on target and they just underran the targets, or they just missed.
