You need range to fire the torps at the farthest ships first, then fire at the closer ones last.

Ducimus, you're right again. I hand over the holy Grail and he says "Yeah, but....":rotfl:
My Red Baron strategy
always works. It assumes you always have some targeting error. It cancels the effect of the error by putting you so close to the target it doesn't matter. It's the pistol strategy.
You're using the sharpshooter strategy. It's slower, cleaner and puts you too far from the cool explosions. It demands perfect setups every time. In war that doesn't happen. It works for a stud like you but not for most other klutzes.
My cat can use the Red Baron strategy and sink most every ship she fires on. And that's the other disadvantage of the sharpshooter strategy. You hit ships. I sink em. Many a ship will take a torpedo, increase speed to 14 knots and he's gone because you're too far away to set up for another shot. Admiral Lockwood says it is better to sink one ship than hit three. I'm not in the habit of contradicting him. Of course I'm using Realistic Sinking Mechanics 3.0, so I have to
make my ships sink. They don't just explode and sink in seconds like stock SH4.
Ducimus, I'll join you in the self-imposed penalty box if you have room over there.
