So far all the 'Large Modern' that I've got have taken 3 torps. 1 fore, 1 mid (under the superstructure), and 1 aft (around the funnel).

That's the best I've been able to get.
I had managed to get one with my last 2 torps, it was moving about 4kts, falling behind the convoy and escorts (one was staying behind listening, I was running deep).
When he was about 5 miles from both, I popped up, plugged him with about 6-7 shots from the DG (I got the "ship destroyed" message), then bugged out at flank speed 90deg from the convoys course.
All 3 DDs came charging to his location, but it was dark and slightly foggy so they missed me.

I've tried multiple locations, and 3 fore, mid, aft, is the best that I can get with the mk14 and similar torps. The Higher powered versions (forget the number at the moment) may be able to do it in 2.
