Mark 18 torpedoes - utterly useless
Am I doing something wrong or are these completely useless?
I've noticed issues during normal patrols where they've been an occasionally unreliable sniping tool, but they've been atrocious playing in the Missions section during the Leyte battles. I have missed with several salvos against crippled Yamatos and a Kongo at ranges from 700 to 1500 meters and in normal attacks from 330-345 degrees from ~1500 meters, using depths of 4.5-9.5 meters to try cracking the magazines. I used the entire loadout of torpedoes to sink the Musashi off Palawan because every single Mk 18 missed. Every followup Mark 14 hit.
Wish there were a way to have a full complement of Mark 16s instead...
