I just would like to know what guidelines to go by. Helps with tactics and attack planning.
The Skipjack can only maintain a single wire at a time, so if you fire additional wire-guided torpedoes, their wires will automatically break.

As far as the other 1968 subs are concerned, the Permit and the Sturgeon can maintain two simultaneous wires.
