I can only think now that I have a faulty install, as this is blooming ridiculous.

Well I did sink four ships during that patrol, and only two after one torp hit had to be finished off with deck gun

Lately playing with NYGM and h.sie's torp failures I'm getting actually quite close to historcal tonnage.

Ok I'm having more luck now, 2 ships, 8 eels fired, 2 torpedo detonations. Seems a very expensive process though. First ship ( medium cargo ) split spectacularly in the middle, but the second ( tramp steamer) took a hit to the stern, and after trailing it for most of the day in rough seas, it's burning but showing no signs of sinking.
So frustrating, 2 external eels left, rough seas, nothing to do but watch, and crash dive to avoid the aircraft I've attracted.
