Circular torpedo runs

Hi,
Thas has been the first time I had this! I launched a torpedo from one of the stern tubes (towards a static ship) and imagine my surprise when it turned rapidly to the right!

Congratulations to the modders as this is unlikely to be seen in the "clean" version of the game.

I have TM.1.5 + RSRDC + PE3

Has anybody experience this before?

A circular run torpedo is what sank the Tang. I doubt that the IJN could have done so as the Tang had been in process of ripping a convoy to shreads when she fired her last torpedo of the patrol, and was sank by it.

If it hadn't been a stern tube I would have shared Tang's fate. Lucky this time.
