Been practicing "Down the Throat Shots" (DtTS).

I basically bait the IJN destroyer to come and get me. This allows me to set up:
- zero degree AOB
- depth set to 5 feet
- no offset salvo angle
- target speed really doesn't matter except as a queue to fire
- fire two torps at approx 800 yard range

I've been hitting consistently...BUT...I do not seem to be able to sink the targets. I would think that two bow hits on a target the size of a destroyer would basically mean the loss of that bow and then the rest of the ship soon after. Ah well.

So...what is the opinion on the boards as to torp. destructive power?
