Really.

When I play miniatures games one of the hardest things to do is convince gamers to imagine it's really them in the cockpit, or on the battlefield, or commanding the ship. People want just play the game. It's hard to convince others to imagine your life is really on the line, and hard to describe the fact that they aren't supposed to know what's happening or why.

What I was talking about was say after you have some deep running fish or ones you suspect(you kind of have know way of knowing if you play without external cam as i usually do.So you suspect you have deep runners as some subs did, you can then set them to run as shallow as possible, they will still run deep but shouldnt pass under the target.

I wish broaching was an issue you had to worry about and set the depth accordingly but its not, however one can say in heavy seas wont set them under 10-12 feet because they would broach.Guess its an honor system when it comes to this.I enjoy it, makes attacking a ship much more difficult and realistic.

Captains; BuOrd has tested the torpedo and found no fault with them. This said, You must be using the torpedo's improperly. Any tampering with them could result in reassignment or Court Martial

And quit making excuses for sloppy shooting!

Very interesting Steve. That would be like real role playing days that me and my pals did over a decade ago. I would do that, but I've always liked hitting the waterline whether it's by torp or by gun.

yea, a waterling hit with torpedo set to contact seems to do the trick nearly every time, esp if it hits them under their stack.
