First time I got mad at SHIII for the first time since release

I mean honestly mad where I quit playing and started playing SHIV then still being mad turned off the pc and went to bed lol.

Maybe extremely frustrated is a better word.

Heres the situation;

Lead Destroyer, Troop Transport and Aux Cruiser hdg 90

Extremely rough seas but I managed to get decent information. So I was pretty positive on the ranges, speeds, bearings etc.

Saved before I attacked just because SHIII has been crashy lately (need to review my mods)

First attempt fired spread missed intended ship but hit aux cruiser, sunk...all was fine.... sunk 3 more ships later on and game crashed near Germany on my way home. (Does that mostly when I switching from 4k+ TC to normal RT).

Anyway so I'm annoyed.

I reload the game and have all the info still at had due to the notebook and pencil on my desk. I know I had to have mad errors somewhere due to my first attempt so I re-evaluate, get the same info returned....so I decide to estimate a bit, increase speed. etc, miss...reload game...more estimating...miss....reload game, take more time to gather more data....fire...torpedo detonated early and they started zig-zagging....reloaded game.....said ok.....ill basically do the fast 90 method....spead ahead of them got in perfect firing position perfect range....miss!! I went on to do this about 5 more times before I was disgusted and shut the game down.

Now normally I don't reload over and over like that...if I miss I miss etc.. but feeling slightly cheated by the games crashing nearly upon entering port... I reloaded. Being already irritated, i wasnt gonna miss targets that I'd already hit.

Hell I don't even feel like logging in today, maybe I'll nix that mission and move on.

SH3/4 and 5 have all had frustrating moments but GRRR!!!

Rant off....

Sorry.
