Oh yea, its the worst lol. That or when you go a whole patrol without any real contacts, stumble upon a carrier, make a perfect approach inside the screen, fire from "can't" miss range and angle...only to have five torpedoes malfunction(3 premature detonations, two duds) and one hit. Of course, carrier is too fast and well protected to end around , plus you are already low on fuel since en route home. Then you are slightly damaged after her escorting DD's dropped hundred fifty or more depth charges over six hours.
