Frustrated Captain considering desertion

I was pretty good with sh3 (@100%). So I decided to give sh-4 a try. The first patrol was pretty frustrating: (I play at level hard for my first patrol, I hope some of my experience in the KM might help)

1: The weather: I left for patrol to the Marshalls. It started raining as soon as I get there. Frustrated, and out of fuel, I went to refuel at mid way, It's raining there also... Head to japan to see some legit traffic, It's raining there too... From Dec 14 to Jan 24th, it has been raining continually all through the pacific...

2: The traffic: The marshalls should have been in Jap control at begining of war. But seem to be teaming with US ship (at least I see the blue icon, cause I ain't seeing a thing in the rain...)

3. The enemy ship: South of Japan, in driving rain, I finally find a target with radar. In the dark and in driving rain, I fire 10 torps (i have to fire blind with spreads), score 4 hits (4 "torpedo impact" message). I can see the ship being on fire. But she just keep on going! Not even slowing down! With my tail torps refused to fire, I have to leave.

4. the Torpedo: Although I can fire the front torps. the rear torps refuse to fire (because I "don't have a solution"??? I am in the prefect spot, but I don't have a visual of the ship.) In any event, how come I can fire the front torps blind (without solution), but not the tail torps?

Really frustrated, I might just have to quit the USN and head back to nazi germany...
