I never use magnetic pistol's till after the Norwegian campaign. Also remember that high seas can cause your eels to malfunction if set to magnetic pistols, keep to impact until the weather improves.

Hey,

I`m two weeks in this war, I don`t know our !§$%&* magnetic pistols aren`t working!

Btw. desperate how I was, I even attacked a small freighter, pistol to impact...

...nothing......

I let her sail, as she wasn`t worth another torp.

Thankfully the weather went calm the last days and I sank another medium freighter and an ore freighter with the gun.

I won`t tell the BDU I had such misfortune with the torps, I`ll just tell I had some gun practice to explain the used shells. Otherwise he might think I`m not able to hit anything with torpedoes and strips me off my command.
