Yesterday I did 3800m and hit was observed.

The G1 got a range of 12000 at slow 7500 at medium speed and 5000 at fast.

the electrical one only got a 5000 meter range.

Yes I know the distances. I meant longest to score a hit.

oh, okay.

well i fired a spread blindly in to a convoy wich was about 8km away, sunk one ship :p

G1 11000 yards.
Randomly fired into a convoy in '45 (and yes, suicidal), and tried to high tail it. While sinking at 200M, I heard i sunk a large merchant.

You heard? You told you, hmmmmm?????

By the way, isn't the real range of the type II 5 km? The game has it at 3 km, any way to fix this?

4000m on a passenger cargo with my last stern tube torpedo. One eel, one kill. Hit perfectly at point of aim (under her stack), using a fast G7a (calm seas, so didn't want to give her EXTRA time to react to the torpedo that was coming from 4km away!).

100% realism, manual targeting.

I was surprised that I actually hit it. AOB was calculated with Mk.I eyeball, speed was calculated with fixed wire method. Hitman Optics for my scopes.

I'll do it again and I'll get a picture just for you!
I doubt I'll get it any time soon though.

Edit: where are the screenshots saved again?

Designated targets, observed hits please.

Wild shooting at convoys occasionally produce hits but mostly wastes expensive torpedoes. That's luck not skill.

In '45, its either randomly shoot at a convoy and sink or just sink.
Either way, your dead.

Never survived that long. Grim reaper collects oberleutnant Strand around -42 or -43. Six times now. Twice transfer to administrive post have happened by SH3Cmdr.

I don't think the TII is a 5km torpido, I read in an article that 3km was max range for that one. The TIII is a 5km electric, perhaps you are confusing the two?

The longest shot I have ever connected with was about 6500m in '39. I observed the dud bounce right off the hull of the target, dose that count? If not then it would have to be between 4500 and 3500km. The target was evaiding so it is hard to say for sure how far off it was exactly.
