Also, the ASWs ASDIC and sound gear doesn't seem to work that well either in the high seas. Equally, the torepdo attack is very difficult to run. All in all, quite realistic, I feel.

Was able to sink 2 cargos and torpedo one more with a T-4, that I will now try to finish off with a coupe de grace. All T-3 were hits. Had one dud AtoFat, because of the contact fuse not igniting due to the sharp impact angle. My EtoFat from the stern tube, almost hit a Black Swan Frigate, if only I would have slected the 2nd Giro angle to the other side ... oh, well ...

As I was able to enter and exit the convoy undetected, no D/C attack ensued. So far, no CTD ...
yes, in this simulation, storms are the ally of the attacker!
