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 ...

So, after a coupe de grace on a Granville steamer - 2 AtoFat duds by the way - headed south.
4h later, was attacked by a single Sunderland (no damages) ... stayed submerged for about 1h. Just before surfacing, spotted 2 Sunderlands in the B-Periscope on opposite course but right over the boat (no attack). Waited until they were out ouf sight and surfaced. After surfacing went to Bridge View (F4) => CTD!
Seem to think that I had that before but can't really put my finger on it ...
