My torpedo chief had his morale broken (first time I saw that).

Interesting. Wondering what caused the uncontrolled dive. Close call for sure.

Did you crash dive for a plane? Did plane drop bombs? Residual damage to dive controls from previous attack perhaps.

You're into a period of campaign now where its tougher to find targets, especially in open waters, traffic shifts to coastal areas. A lot of night surface work ahead for ya lol.

Well, I was at 128x time speed. The drop to 1x was the game, or else. In terms of report, I did add a point or two for narrative.

I crash dive for a plane, but after 100 ft and no bombing, hit time compression.

What I also thought was a mine, since I was near the first islands north of Luzon, in the Luzon Straits.

But I thought that was more cool a uncontrolled dive do to some malfunction. At least added to the atmosphere of a simulation.
