The DD didn't even bother to look for me. All other fish were duds. I had even went around to the undamaged side of the BB and still no sinking. All hit ships lost power and had flames a plenty. I waited 24 hours and they all still remained afloat.

Went back to Midway for a new load of fish ... disappointed.

according to the torpedos_us.zon, the Mark 14 (which you should be using if you are NW of Midway mid-1942) are only slightly more lethal(+10) than the Mark 10's they replaced.



according to USN sources the Mark 10 had 497 lbs of TNT vs Mark 14's 643 lbs of torpex.


according to wikipedia: Torpex is a secondary explosive, 50% more powerful than TNT by mass.



so, a somewhat valid conclusion is that if the Mark 10 is 497 lbs of TNT then the Mark 14 should be rated at >1000 lbs of TNT.


it would appear as if the Mark 14 is undervalued in the .Zon file.
