The number of torpedoes can vary, but I find it's an absolute must to have one go under smokestack into the boilers. I will get secondary explosions there every time, but not always under the turrets. I always set my fish to half the keel depth and at impact. That said, my ideal attack on a Nelson:

1- under smokestack
2- under fuel cell forward of smokestack,
3 -under turret forward of fuel cell.

I think I can do it with just 2, but I've always sunk it with 3. During Weserabung, I took out the Hood with a shot to the boilers and took out a Nelson class this way.
