NYGM Torpedo Problems

Wreford-Brown · 12-10-12, 11:10 AM

I had similar problems and got frustrated - exactly as the Kaleuns in WW2 got frustrated when they set up a perfect shot and the torpedoes didn't work!

AFAIK, the mod is working as it is meant to...

Verdammt!!

Thats what I love about this game, just when you think its becoming predictable, it surprises you again. Heading home rather miffed about my torpedo problems, I'd just made it round and down the east coast, and was about to set an easterly course for the safety of Willhelmshaven. Suddenly I get a sound contact of a merchant on a perfect intercept course, 8 knots.

Lie in wait, fire off 2 of my duff eels just for the heck of it, and:

Boom!
Boom!

Follow the large merchant for a few KM's at periscope depth, before plucking the courage to blow ballast and let her have it with the deck gun. Scratch another 7K Tonnes!

Well forget heading for home, maybe some of these eels will do the trick, I'm going to tempt fate and linger around Harwich and see what comes my way.
