Has this ever happened to you

Many times, that's why mariners hate fog.

I hit a fellow wolf once the fog was so thick

We were in amongst a convoy.

I just had a lone merchant slip by me in heavy seas, and dense fog at night, had him on sonar, but never caught sight of him, and he was real close in.

then there is the nagging question... where they neutrals? were they friendly? were they enemy? perhaps they were hospital ships?

When attacking in poor visibility by hydrophones you never really can tell what your shooting at (unless you use free camera). so be careful out there when conducting this type of attack, it could even be another u-boat!
