If you read one of my threads I had a great start to a career one time with a type IIA and sunk 2 nice merchants then I made to my patrol zone (right east of dover maybe 100km and spotted a destroyer TF of 3 coming perpendicular to me, so I sat at 3km out perp. to their course and had my TDC all done auto and when the first Destroyers Smoke stack (C&D class I believe) I let fly 3 torps, problem was, they were set to magnetic, and I forgot my W/A officer doesnt set the depth

all 3 went harmlessley under him in broad daylight, and they were steam. even though as soon as I had fired I turned tail and tried creeping away, TC screwed me and I hit a small shelf my ballasts went bad and I surfaced, got hit a few times by deck guns and was in such bad damage that I couldnt move (My diesels were destroyed and my electrics were in just as bad of shape) by the time my repair crews came even close to fixing the engines and ballast, I was DC'd

baaaad day which I blame on Bernard

PS: is the renown addition you added a mod?? because if so i may like to have it seeing as Im having a hard time getting any renown, its really turning me off to starting in the First Flotilla in 1939 (That and Kiel, I hate the canal and the position of it just because it takes SOOOOO long to get to my grid then back to base thanks to "Ship Spotted" or "Contact bearing XXX every two seconds )
