You dont really need any solution at all to use a cutie.I only carry them in the rear torpedo room the cutie is only really useful as an escort killing weapon it simply lacks the firepower to kill anything else.You can of course carry one fore if you wanted.
What I do is save them for when I get an aggressive escort I wait for him to start coming at me full speed and I let the cutie fly right at him if he is on my 180 I just simply fire the cutie though you can set up a solution on one if he is not right on your 180.Also you dont have to be deep to fire one but it is wiser.I always stop my engines and start diving when I fire one it is very wise not have your screws moving at all after you launch a cutie.Most times the cutie will head straight for my pursuer and because he is going full speed and making so much noise he has less a chance to be able to evade.
Other times I have used the leash thing.The trick with cutie is to only use them against a close range attacker who running at you at high speed that way you get the best use of the cutie which is very slow and wont work very well in other situations.
Mk.27s are very much a scalpel they are a useful weapon only for certain situations.I have seen on one occasion where my cutie was trying its best to keep up with this DD that was making DC runs but the DD kept speeding up past the 12knts of the cutie finally the explosions of the DCs attracted the cutie and when they faded it picked up another DD and hit it so in effect the DDs sister ship sank her.
