I'll buy a few 27's and 18's for the aft, in case an escort needs to visit Davy Jones. Otherwise, I load up with 14's and 24's in the bow.

In RL skippers liked using the 18's for their stealth, since it didn't leave a trail back to their boat for DD's to lock onto. Most torpedoes issued near the end of the war were 18's.
