WTF-Stern Tubes Damaged!!

Well, I'll probably chalk it up to a "malfunction", consider the stern tubes unusable this patrol, and hope the boys back at Pearl can make 'em right.

sounds to me like this is a bug and not game related... if it's not showing stern torpedo tubes RED or damaged, something is glitched.

first patrol in a career, off the coast of Japan. Snuck into a port after finding and sinking only two fishing boat in open water. I had sunk them with my deck gun. Sneaking into the harbor, I found 3 gunboats and 5 or 6 merchants at anchor, so I conveniently lined up to fire forward torpeedoes. No dice. All were damaged!!!!

So, recalling my months of training at the world renown Subsim forum sub school, my boat came about and fired its 4 aft torpedoes, hitting two targets and sinking one. Then, I made a dash for deep water, 14 nm east. Ocean depth was only 63 feet. I was followed by a Hira Gunboat for 8 miles, circling me at a distance of 100-300 yds. and gunning in my direction. I fired two aft torpedoes at it, but they missed. Two hours later (real time), the gunboat headed south.

I passed out from fatique.

So, you say your stern tubes are malfunctioning?!?

Sounds pretty serious... go see your Urologist, maybe?
