I've noticed this with BBs and cruisers. They really gas it when they see a torp wake. I try to take this into account when attacking - usually I'll fire one torp dead center, and knowing that they will accelerate when they see this one, I send the others with a rather large lead angle - say 2 degrees and up for the remaining five torps. This way when he thinks he's dodged the first torp, he lines himself up for the remaining ones. Another way I handle this is by inputing a higher speed into the TDC. If he's travelling 12 knots, put in 14 or 16 maybe. Mind you, I'm not sure if a BB will reverse at the same speed to avoid a torp. Anyway, the method of spooking him with one and flushing him into the others works for me.
