Ah, finally...

Positioned myself ahead of a convoy. Only 3 eels remain in forward tubes. Escorts go by. I pop up the scope to see who's there.

Oooohhhh ammunition ship, nice. Troop ship, even better. LARGE troop ship Wheeeeeee!!! Wait, what is that lurking back in the mists. Too big to be an escort.

HMT Aquitania. So, we meet agai..... (thud)

Sharp odor of smelling salts and I'm awake again. "Ready salvo tubes 1,2 and 4, magnetic pistols, depth 15.5."

Why is she behind the convoy like that? Hrm, "Ears" hears nothing from that bearing. She's not afire, not listing, but doing only 3 knots and has settled down in the water on an even keel.

Is it really going to be that easy? "Down scope! Torpedo room, belay my previous order! Ready the T1 in tube 1, impact pistol, depth 8."

NOT touching the TC button!!! Learned that lesson.

Wait until the escorts go by. Wait some more for the lumbering beast, now at 2 knots, to reach the perfect firing position.

"Tube 1, Los!"

Impact! She slips under the waves before the escorts even turn around.

Took out the 44,000 ton Aquitania with a single t1 with impact pistol.
(OK, with a bit of AI kaleun help)
