I have a question about the order in which torpedoes are fired. I understand that if you have different types of torpedo in the different tubes, you would specify which torpedo tubes to ready and fire, but if you had a forward nest full of mk 14s, why would you choose to fire them in reverse order? I listened to the Sealion II recordings of her during her attacks and the captain fired tube 6, then tube 5, then 4 etc.

I can't determine what advantage this gives you, if any. Or is it just personal preference?
