I too run a mixed bag when it comes to torpidos. The range and speed of the steem torpidos comes in handy at times. Even with the bubble trail they can be quite useful during the day. At ranges under 1km the speed can render most evasive manuvers useless and if you shoot them at extreem ranges even at slow speeds they generaly don't see them coming until it is too late. In my experiance it is the parascope that gives you away more so than torpido trails more often than not.
If you use the steem torpidos only at night, or dawn and dusk I have found are equaly as advantagious, the trail is of little conciquence. In the end I like to keep a handful of every type of torpidos I can get my hands on. Some strait runers, both electric and steem, for direct engagments, some patern runers for convoy and task force runs and even some acoustic seekers if I have the room. You never know what situation you are going to run into out there so it is best to have a tools that can fit every situation.
