T IX acoustic torpedo issues

Have a look at BdU's war diary 23.10.1943: http://www.uboatarchive.net/BDU/BDUKTB30332.htm

When shooting from the bow they needed to crash dive to avoid the torpedo and there were speed and sea state restrictions.

Personally I have only used acoustic torpedoes for a very short time before I got sunk. I do remember that sinking destroyers was kind of easy but survival was not because the buddies of the sunken destroyer were quick to gathwr around to depth charge me.

I also remember using an acoustic torpedo in a regular attack. Depth 3 meters perpendicular attack, impact pistol. Sank a merchant that way.

GWX Gold 3.0 and SH3 Commander.

Been using these for close to five years, never had a problem with any of the acoustic eels.

Perhaps the God of War favors me.
