Otherwise, going by Doenitz's statistics from his memoirs, the number of torpedo hits vs. the number of ships sunk is just shy of 2:1. Keep in mind, there were many instances where 3-4 torpedoes were needed to sink ships.

Using impact torpedoes only in SHIII, I usually get closer to 2.5-3:1 :hmm:

Very true, the 2:1 ratio is easily replicable in SHIII w/ RUB (I have limited experience w/ vanilla SHIII) when using impact only. IMO, realism is well balanced for the player that uses manual targeting techniques.
