Folks!
As I already said: If you fire all 4 forward eels the sub is unbalanced to the extent that the nose breaks the surface and sometimes a bit more. Not very nice when you`re next to a convoy with all those unpleasant people who are trying to kill you. One reason why all four eels were very seldom fired AT ONCE. Preferred were two double shoots with some 20 or 30 seconds in between for stablizing (or 3 and again 1). But if you are really doing this there is not enough time to use the stern tubes. If you dont believe: Look up Karl Almans \"Graue Wölfe in blauer See\" or Jochen Brennecke`s \"Haie im Paradies\". Have fun.
