I think I should go ahead and warn you about duds on the Mark 14. For the love of all that is good and sinking ships don't put them on fast. From my experience firing them on slow setting cuts out about 70-80% of your duds.

But that means having a torpedo that runs at 31 kts. Which means you need to be close, and at night. I recommend the John P Cromwell 45 which, as stated by the guys who though it up, uses 70% of the target's speed. Meaning the target is bearing down on your torpedoes closing faster than they would at 90. Plus the closer to 90 you get the higher your dud rate will be.

Oh yea, and mind the escorts they can shoot at you from further ranges now. Just some friendly scuttlebutt. Good Luck!
