Fish and Radar

Ahoy fellow submariners!

I've a couple of odd situations on my hands. I'm operating a Gato class boat in June of 1942. I put out of Pearl and deployed to Hokkaido for patrol, running across a convoy that I decided to stalk. I bagged two tin cans and three Marus totaling 19071 tons and showed a clean pair of heels back to Midway to refit. After taking on fresh stores and ten new fish I returned to Hokkaido and completed my patrol, then turned South and deployed to Honshu to hunt convoys.

I periodically save my game like any normal person, and that is where I noticed a problem.

I opened the game and loaded my last save - which put me 60ni off Kamaishi. The moment I found myself in the con I heard one of my fish fire off. I gave no such command nor pressed any buttons... my torpedo targeting system wasn't even opened. I thought that perhaps it was just a one time glitch with my audio, but the next save and load I made another fish shot off.

In short, my fish are firing by themselves. Has anyone expierenced this before or know anything else about it? I've sailed back to Midway and taken on new torpedos, but I don't know if that's solved the problem.

My Radar also started to act up when my fish did. Previously it worked but now it simply doesn't... I've gone to the radar station and tried to turn it on/off, set the range, run a sweep, etc... and nothing has worked. Its simply dead. I haven't taken any hits or damage from any Japanese vessels or aircraft... so nothing is out of commission.

Again, anyone expierenced this before or know anything else about it?

Thanks in advance for your time and efforts.

EDIT: I am using SH4 Stock with a KillFlags Mod skin for my boat... but I installed everything previous to leaving Pearl.
