Arlo, If I started barking voice commands to raise the pericope, take her to periscope depth, etc., my three poodles would certify me as "nuts."

Speaking of pausing the game and having more than one person on the firing team, yesterday I forgot to slow down my boat's approach and overshot its ideal firing point by several hundred yards. By the time I realized it, the Bizo Maru, which I had tracked for an hour, was almost on top of me. I fired from a few hundred yards off of its starboard beam, and all shots failed to detonate -- too close to detonate. I was so close the gunners on the target fired at the torpedoes' wakes. If I had only paused the game to check out the details .... And my Tambor had no deck gun, so the target escaped unscathed. A rare miss at close range with the OTC/real scopes/map contacts disabled....Arrrggghhh!
