The reason that WWII torps were used and not modern ones was cost. Its far cheaper to get vintage WWII torps than modern wire guided fish. The older torps also had a larger warhead, so they do more damage. The shot the Conquerer used was a classic Perisher shot. Fire one ahead of the ship, one at the center, one at the stern. The impacts was one bow hit and one stern hit. Perisher is the command qualification course that every British sub commander takes and MUST pass to command a sub.
And im american, not british in case ur wondering.
