As a general rule, I don't fire at small ships at all, or tankers (too many 8-10 torpedo episodes and the tanker still sailing). I fire 2 torpedoes at all medium/large merchants, and follow up with more later if necessary. I'll shoot 1 only at a destroyer, but generally only when I have to. I fire two at cruisers or carriers, and when I see a battleship, I either unload the entire complement of that end's tubes at it if it's a single, or I split 3/3 between two battleships if my front tubes are fully loaded and pointing at them. 3 torpedoes may or may not sink a BB, depending on where they hit.
