Now the fun part! Set the torpedo to run on the surface and hit the DD on the nose and a game bug that makes that section nearly invincible causes big explosion with the DD just continuing on unhindered most of the time. Set it deeper than that and on magnetic and the magnetic sensor doesn't work and/or the torp runs deep and no boom!
You're best off setting on the surface with magnetic sensor on in case it runs deep.
You can increase hit percentage by shooting a spread but three torpedoes in exchange for less than 1900 tons is a terrible exchange of risk for reward. I only fire one torp at a time at escorts.

Pretty much. The final lesson is that this destroyer is not worth your time or torpedoes
