I've been rereading Blair, and another one of those dreaded mine missions came up for lack of torpedos. One sub even dropped mines, then waited and watched a maru sink after hitting one.

My "torpedo availability" thread was the result of the same reading last night, lol.

If renown cost is the only way to limit torps, you could make some mining missions ("patrols" right off a port) in a certain time frame, and have the torpedo cost be high, but the mines would be free. If you were a high performng boat, you'd have the renown to patrol as you'd like with torpedos, but if you were NOT, you'd only have enough renown to buy a handful of fish, and no choice but to fill the boat with mines...
