So, I was Kuma-hunting south of Shortland Island in my new Salmon boat (Skipjack), trying the new fancy Mk14s (hah!).

I set up one contact, one influencer, both were duds. But, the weird thing - on the first dud (contact), the Kuma promptly fired a spread of five torpedoes in my direction! Never saw that one before - guns, DCs etc. yes, but torpodos? Mind you, at a short range I tend to fire, they would have a reasonable chance, but how are they to know? In RL, wasting torpedos like this would be rather frowned upon, but I do consider it cool

.

Can be seen at about 2:58 into my last video (link ad the end) Pity it was at night, so the quality is not great..
