Shallow water sucks when the weather is nice.

I meant use the mk. 14 to torpedo a target ship, not a DD. I hardly ever shoot at them, unless their standing still.

I agree about the AI ships spotting torps. It's rediculous. I was using a test mission, and just happened to discover merchies can "see" a torpedo coming, on a dark, moonless night. I could barely see the ship to target it, much less a torpedo in the water. It's like they can smell them 500 yds away.

I never really saw that before, as I don't use map contacts in career play. With map-contacts and the attack map, it becomes very obvious.

I'm guessing you are using TMO? Then it would pay to be more careful. Don't let my comments bug you, sometimes I take a chance, and wind up sorry I did.
