I got wondering about this after reading about Otto_Kretschmer and his "one ship, one torpedo" motto.  250k in 1 year IRL - f!ckadoodledoo.

About BB's... both of the times I've fired at one I've used a full 4-torp spread just to make sure. Somehow, it doesn't feel like a waste of torpedos.  |
I think that Kretschmer was an unique genius. The common players like me must fire two torpedoes to guarantee (?) a kill. I remember Adolf Galland when Mölders said that the inferior armamant of the BF109F compared with the 109E would force pilots to aim better and not to shower enemy aircrafts with bullets: as Galland said, not every pilot in the Luftwaffe was a marksman like Mölders...
By the way, its true that a bow hit can be lethal. Even large tankers went to the bottom in my experience with such a shot... normally they received it when I missed another target in a convoy...:rotfl:
