Late Night Foolishness: Duking it out on the surface

In the IIA Type I had this same problem,

As you all probably know the IIA doesn’t have much Torpedo’s
I was send to a Grid by the Bdu, I was just running TGW so having some problems with the Damage Models.

Now, I reached my grid and had done the 24h patrol, I just set course back home and received an radio contact nearby, I intercepted it.

A Large Cargo!!!! Now sunk that one with 3 Fishes, I just wanted to continue my sonar picked up a Merchant closing….I waited…another Large Cargo!!! 2 Fishes loaded 1 in reserve, I shot them both, and both they hit….Woohoo!!! but the bloody vessel didn’t sink….Mmmrrppff….I surfaced to look the at the bastard…she was leaning heavy on one side a small part of her deck was washed…

Now as soon I asked at my Weapon Officer how long it will take to reload the last one… N/A not enough crew in this compartment…(BLEEP!) crew fatigue at the moment I need my crew…Ah Well…I can wait. She isn’t moving.

While I waited about 20 hours before I could gather enough crew to get my last torpedo loaded
5 other big merchants passed my ship!!!! I saw them all passing slowly my sub, in that time I knew….’’God Hates Me’’ I seemed to be exact in the middle of an Harbour Traffic route….as the hours passed and the last 20 minutes my crew needed to reload the last Fish…It was time for revenge!!! But the ship had leaned to much towards me so I was afraid of hitting her with an Dud , so I moved myself towards the other side and fired my last fish on her ammo stash , BAM!!!!! Torpedo hit….now…well…errr…she was still there!!! WeEeEeEeE it wasn’t fair….I waited another 10 hours to rest my crew to go in the Diesel compartment…and while that time she didn’t lean anymore she sat straight in the water only her hull was deeper in the water then normal…I hated that blasted ship that I could ram it…but I didn’t…the IIA is too small for an large cargo…so I abandoned her leaving her to see another day…and I as an shark without any teeth left went back in silence…
