2)what is the maximum range of torps on low/high speed?
3) I want to take the next step and learn how to attack convoys and navy ships, attack with angles other than 90 degrees... etc but I dont know where to begin.
4)I also dont know where to actually find these convoys  |
... not sure about your '8' fish salvos....How to put this?....your stern and bow tubes are diametrically oposed and so the torps will arrive at very different times. Infact if you're much past abeam they will never all reach the same point. The dud torp rate is high as the early US torp stocks in WWII were apparently very unreliable. But 8/8 fail? not gonna hapen. most likely they are just missing.
IIRC there is some stock issues with recognition info? Ie the rec manual data is wrong; ie draught, length, etc? Also the magnetic detonators didn't work for the first few years?
