Yeah you probably think i'm mad not liking them, because they don't leave a wake, besides that, that's their only advantage i reckon!!!
their real killer is their speed......they're too friggin slow!!!!!
I just made the calculations for the perfect shot on a trap steamer and let loose 2 elecy torps on it.....by the time they reached the ship, the steamer was already ahead of them and they missed!!!!
I know my calcs for this shot were fine.....mark my words if they were steamers, set to FAST speed, visible wake or not.....that steamer would have never seen another sunrise!!!!!
NOTE: and I even fired slightly "ahead" of the steamer to guarantee a hit, which always works with steamers

anyone else not like electric torpedoes?
