So I'm toiling off the coast of Scotland in game, while watching Olympics curling on tv in real life, and we get a contact that proves to be a J-class destroyer approaching us at a pretty good clip. We wheel about and I get only a few moments to judge the target speed - about 16-17 knots, I think - and I'll have to take the shot from about 2500 m. "Los!" and the eel is away, while I watch on the F6 screen. My torpedo seems to be running too slow to intercept the destroyer, while on the screen the skip has put too little weight into his stone and is screaming "Hard! Hard!" to his sweepers, and I'm screaming "Hard! Hard!" at the torpedo, which still runs too slow and we both miss our shots.
