Those homing torpedos r great, espcialy if your firing at anything smaller then a DD.

The problem with firing them at a DD is that they often hit around the engines which often doenst cause the ship to sink right away.

If a ship is comming right at you fire the torpedo when ur lined up with the ship. This causes the torpedo to go under the ship and explode underneath it causing it to sink very fast.
If the ship is zigg zagging or comming in at an angle ur likely to hit the ship near the engine compartment.

Another problem with these torpedos is that they head toward the loudest sound, so if ur firing into a convoy and u aim at a certain ship u have a 50/50 chance of a hit unless the ship is allone.

I also noticed that these torpedos dont always work, you fire them at a target but instead of heading toward the ship it continues going straight. Also to take out all other noises, shut off your engines.
