Secret to hitting the target
Actually there is one secret to hitting just about everything you shoot at. That is getting as close as you can. Learned it from Baron von Richthofen. I defy you to miss from 500 yards. I seldom take a shot from outside 700 yards. Being careful to take such shots I can hit a ship with all three sonar only fired torpedes in a 1½º spread bow, center, stern just about every time.
If you're that close they can turn, they can accellerate or decellerate and they're pretty much toast anyway, especially if you fire a spread. I usually fire center, 1½º toward the stern, then 1½º toward the bow. Sometimes on small ships I'll only fire 2.
I shoot one when firing at destroyers. They only get shot in dire circumstances and AOB 0º or 180º. I'm out for tonnage, not tin cans. One hit and they're done anyway.
