Thanks Sniper 297! Excellent info.

I use a variation of that rule re: Mk 18s v. Mk 14s. As recommended, the 18s are launched against the targets farther away on the theory they are supposedly wakeless and, since they will be in transit longer, this will cut down on the likelihood they will be spotted en route. The second half of the double- or triple-whammy consists of the Mk 14s that are fired at the closer target(s). The trick when doing this is to carefully watch the angle on the bow for each target; if you are shooting at more than two ships you're almost certain to have to "twist ship" between the first and second shots, or the second and third. It will cut down on the available time to settle on your course before firing the last torpedo(es). Attention to detail is critical.
