Well this just shows you that everyone plays a little different because I find the cuties pretty useful only for killing DDs and useless for blowing props off why do that when you can "blow the hull off" with a regular torpedo?
For me if you use them in the correct situation they often kill a DD in one hit(TMO 2.0 have not used a cutie in 2.1 but I doubt the damage is different) and if I set them up right I get a kill 75% of the time.I do a agree that the DDT shot with regular fish is very effective though I will send a three spread to cover any possible jink.
The bottom line is the the cutie in real life was designed with killing a charging escort in mind and real life subs did successfully use them in this way and you can in game as well some boats also sank merchants with them the Barb in one hit but in a manner that SH4 does not simulate.Which simply shows that there is more than one way to successfully employ a weapons system in WWII as in the game just as different skippers in real life used tactics that worked for them that others did not employ.It does not mean that anyone is wrong it just means that there is more than one way and one could try them all and use the one they have success or create their own tactics.
