I remember many of my kills, chases, and escapes. I can honestly think about them and get pumped to play the game again. It sounds like you'll be hooked the same way I was.

As for your torpedoes going in strange directions... did you fire out of the wrong end of your boat? I've done it before after an hour or so of real-time tracking. Mistakes like that will make you want to bang your head against the wall () but you'll probably never make that mistake again. Remember, "experience" is just a fancy way of saying that you learned from your screwups!

If you have auto-target on, I'm not sure what else could have caused that. Ideas, anyone?

I already am pretty much addicted haha

Yeah, I fired my 1 and 2 tubes (im assuming those are front, not aft tubes?) at the destroyer after sending the hydrophone bearing to the TDC and after marking it through my attack periscope. They were supposed to veer to the left to hit the destroyer at a bearing of about 300 from me, yet they sped off down a 45 odd degree bearing? Luckily I saved before I fired them (I am still a noob so I need to have some leniency :P) so im back off to try and survive this first encounter
