No doubt 2500-3000 yard shot work. But, the margin for error is greater than working in closely for more accurate range, AOB and speed estimates. We are offered the spread with TDC to help offset small errors in our calculations. In my experience the spread angles should be used with the longer shots and no spread on the 1500 yard or less shots. Also, I use slow setting on my torps unless it is DD that can manuever a bit faster than the fat old merchant. Most like the fast torp all the time. I use slow setting when I'm in close. If I'm 1500 yards or more, I set torps to fast. But that is just me. Everyone has their own way to handle the torps.[/quote]
Warhawk, that is a great point on when to use the spread, I am going to use your rule of thumb. At 1500 yds, what degree spread would you recomend?
I am curious about your torp speed settings. Why you think slow settings on the torps for close shots are advantageous?
