Besdies, early war is all about night surface attacks on convoy's and shelling unarmed or poorly armed merchants.  |
Yep - what he said
Actually, I usually did take about 50% T2s (none in external slots though) in early war because I have not had much luck making night surface attacks without getting spotted (haven't tried it with GWX yet - been in late '43/early '44 ever since I loaded up GWX so no surface time to speak of, much less surface attacks, at this point). As a result, I found myself in early war making a lot of daylight submerged attacks against convoys, and I always liked to fire my first salvo of 2 T2s at a farther target and then my second salvo of T1s at a closer target, timed so both targets would be hit at roughly the same time, and I didn't want the wakes to give away my first salvo while I was preparing to fire my second salvo. The second one was usually fired from around 500-600m so there was really no time for the enemy to react to the wakes on those torps anyway.
