Down The Throat Shot actually worked in TMO RSRD(pic heavy)

TMO 2.0 with RSRD 100 realismn including map contacts off, left external camera on.I did this to mix things up since in patrol before in other career played with external camera on and map contacts off.Trying to get used to playing without map contacts again, adds to the simulation.Anyway...

March 1942, Marshall Islands near Eniwetok Atoll
USS Shark-Porpoise Class

Sank one lone freighter later afternoon on March 9 with deck gun after four torpedos exploded, forced to dive once to avoid aircraft, was only 40 miles from Eniwetok Atoll.

The next morning while preparing for our daily dive(early war tactics) for submerged patrol, spotted a lone ship, turned out to be a Momi Class PB(formerly Momi class DD) While setting up, the Momi spotted us in the dawn light and was soon charging with a "bone in his teeth" We turned into him and I ordered a dive at 4200 yards when shell splashes began to bracket us(with EAX sound mond, the enemy shells approaching you sound AWSEOME , along with splahes)

We charged in and had a good set up for a down the throat shot, at 600 yards I fired two Mark 14's, ordered a hard dive for 250 feet and left full rudder.As we passed 86 feet, a huge explosion occured, our torpedo had hit! I ordered scope depth and went outside for a look, one torpedo had missed(prob ran deep) other ran true and exploded under the DD just forward of the stern, she was soon sinking , we were like 300 yards away and she was drifting towards us since she made a hard port turn attempting to avoid our torpedos with no luck.After a run at ahead flank, was far enough to watch her sink via the scope(and external cam)

Finished patrol with four ships down, including the DD.Difficult patrol due to no map contacts and torpedo malfunctions.
