I've always figured 5000 tons was the bottom end of what I was willing to burn a torpedo on. I dont even bother with destroyers for that reason. Having said that, I try to nail a cruiser whenever I get the chance. Mainly, because if they're not in convoy those blasted things go at 30 knots! There is no way I am taking him down unless I make a visual or radio contact almost 90 or 270 degrees from his course with time to get to the intercept point. Missing him 2x shook my confidence, so geting him the 3rd time was a moral victory. those 2 torpedoes missing wide could have equalled merchant tonnage but I wanted the challenge.
