Torpedo, thank you very much indeed for your detailed response, exactly what I was looking for. Ill make a backup as you suggest. I appreciate you taking the time to write in such detail and provide step by step information.

Ive been playing SH5 with TWOS mod on 100% for 3 months now and am currently patrolling a square off the NE of England somewhat to the south of Scapa Flow. Having completed the Polish war, penetrated Scapa via the southern main entrance and now this patrol, Im really taking my time with it and more often than not prudence is definitely the better form of valour. This is why I dive immediately on hearing an aircraft report that is close, not so much for long range in good viz as my on station patrol speed I have adjusted to 4 knots which minimises my wake. Preserving my boat within the realms of acceptable risk is becoming something of a balancing act and with limited torpedoes and fuel not every contact becomes an attack.. If I could I would offload the sausages and hang deck gun shells in their place!

Edit, and just an hour after I write this 3 juicy freighters with 1 escort cross my path and I have 2 torpedoes left.. a long night of shadowing with a dawn attack if no other boats or friendly air attacks appear.. it seems I shall be testing the new dive depth in anger..

Thanks again for your time
