I usually run with T1s all the way to the end of the war.
T1s have greater range than the electric torpedos
T1s seem to have a lower failure rate than the electric torpedoes (my opinion)
T1s have variable speed.
T1s just seem to fit my strategic mindset better than T2s = which is to get in as close to the target as possible. this helps to ensure a hit because shorter range means less travel time for the torpedo decreasing the odds of premature detonation, it also reduces the target's evasive options.
I will usually only load T2s into the stern tube(s) and only one into the bow tubes in reserve for defensive purposes only.
I like the T-5 [G7es] Zaunkönig torpedos but - i feel like SH3 simulates WAY too much of a level of dependability on the T5s. like i said - 1 kill per 14 shots is not that great in real life... but with the acoustics in SH3 i easily get 1 kill per 1 or 2 shots.
