I had an acoustic torp bounce of the rudder of one ship and start to sink, but then it came back to life and went in a totally different direction and hit another ship which it sank.
I'm *PRETTY* sure. I watched the torp hit and then sink. I didn't watch it go all the way down though, so that might have happened. It was at pretty short range, though. I fired at roughly 700 meters

Yeah, I thought I was a goner.

Subsequently, on the next patrol, I fired another falke at a destroyer, and I noticed the phenomenon that Letum was talking about. The torp bumped the stern, stopped for a second or two, then restarted and got a good hit. It didn't sink the destroyer, but it did make him think twice about coming after me, he turned tail and ran at what was probably his best speed missing his portside prop, 14 knots. Sucks that it didn't sink him, but I'm just glad he wasn't after me anymore.
