I dont feel so bad now

[Foghladh_mhara]

Its very tempting to go for the one torp, one ship kill but I've learned the hard, infuriating way that its easier in the long run to fire at least 2 eels and increase the chances of stopping the target. I dont know how many times I've fired one torpedo and seen the ship steam out of view faster than I can regain contact especially in bad weather. It brings out the miser in me though. Everytime I have to fire off more than one I nearly cry because it cuts back my ability to sink more.

I was reading up on my present boat (U-98) on Uboat.net and saw that the real boat had been commanded by Robert Gysae and he had sank an Auxillary Cruiser for 10000 tons. Reading up on the attack it transpires that he fired 2 eels which missed. He shot off another 2 which also missed. He fired 2 more which hit but didn't sink the ship. After the crew abandoned ship another torpedo was required for the coup de grace.

7 torpedoes for 10000 tons?

I feel a hell of a lot better
