When chasing a radar contact, do check the weather!

Conga rats on not only surviving but sinking your target.

But I have to admire also the great graphics of SH4.

Ok, I'll bite. Wasn't it possible to know the range to the target using the radar? I just don't quite understand how it snuck up on you when the radar should've shown the range, at least within certain parameters.

It wasn't so much that it snuck up on him, he was expecting a merchant and due to the foggy conditions it wasn't until he got close that he saw the ship was not a merchant but a Cruiser. his best bet would have been to submerge when he drew near just to be safe... make this a lesson, in bad weather take a peek from safety. When you assume, you make an a$$ out of U and ME

That's just how it happened, too. In SH3 I could tell the weather was bad because the shallow depth meter would bounce irradically. In SH4, it holds reliably still. I remember that assume thing, too.

From that one shot with his tail in the air, it appears you didn't actually hit his props.

Congrats on the kill, though, and even more for surviving.

Otto Kretschmer is not amused by your unintelligent and wasteful use of precious Mark 14 torpedoes.
