As such, I target my torpedoes to hit from midships to stern. This increases the likelihood of damage to engines, props, and occasionally rudders. Ships are a lot easier to take out once you've crippled their propulsion systems.

Hits in the bow rarely seem to have much effect on a ship, especially in the stock game.

If only the bastard sunk.... Anyways, thanks fot the tips. I just sunk a heavier duty Ise . I didnt see the shots, but the eels ran right under the Kongo. The explosions happened at command deck-foredeck junction.And it left a nice big oil slick on surface... An artifact maybe.. I've returned home to pearl, and I expect a good pay for the efforts performed
