Wasting Torpedoes

I just started to play without the w/o... Well im still using him to identify stuff actually, but I'm working out the solutions myself. There are lots of wasted torpedoes in U-69 these days. I disabled duds to somewhat compensate.

Speaking sailboats...
I was in the big bay near Reykjavik, escaping after a successful raid. Still at 100%hull and with two torps left for the rear tube. Killed a light cruiser and an auxiliary cruiser. So on my way out I get the ''Ship Spotted - Short Range'' message from the tower. Weather was bad but seas were good enough to use the deck gun. Jump up there and I see some little puny sailboats coming at me. Man the deck gun ! Start shooting, and the sailboats started shooting back! I don't know what weapon they had but it took my hull effiency down to 39% in only a few blows and I was taking in lots of water. ... I carshed dive and I was pissed. Outgunned by a tourist in his sail boat!

Is it some sort of joke by the GWX team to have a trio of pirates with big guns that'll sink ships and roam the Atlantic? Yarr.
