Default This game is cruel

....but so fun.

I have just found a large tanker limping at 3 knots per hour north of the irish sea in the middle of a storm at night with no moon, 10,000 t. It was pitch black, I didn't even have to dive, i just waited for him and launched two torpedos at 300 m. Poor guy had no chance, never saw it coming, probably was damaged during the crossing of the atlantic or by the storm or it was loaded with supplies, almost home too.

They only need 300m not 400.

All torpedoes require 300 metres of travel to arm apart from the Falke which requires 400 metres.
