Did the same thing as you - sent two, went out to watch them, saw one and figured it prematurely detonated.

10 sec. later I'm at the bottom of the ocean.

Just had my first homing torp in the current patrol (well first I noticed). Fired two fish at a medium size merchant having been lucky to end up almost directly in its path - it was about 600yds when I fired....

Wait a few secs, hmm no hits - damn must have screwed up the solution then bang, damage and we're sinking.

Blew the emergency tanks and went to flank plus surface and got back up in time to sink the first and second merchants with deck gun while fixing the damage

Problem now is I have a massive hole in the sub just forward of the conning tower - I suspect even periscope depth will sink us, I'm a long way from home and I've only used 2 torps (only one of which was a hit - on me!).... What to do....:hmm:
