where do you aim your torps? below the stacks? Below the turrets? in between the turrets? below the cargo areas? in the bow of the ship? aft? at 90* AOB? 0* AOB? magnetic? impact?

above keel? 1m below keel? 2 m below keel? 1 torpedo first, and then wait, or fire a salvo first, which i observed sometimes saves torpedoes in the long run?

what considerations do you take when aiming? calm weather? 15kt wind and heavy seas? difference between merchant and warship? how does that affect how you aim?

I am asking because I seem to be able to always sink a Revenge class BB with 2 torps under her forward turrets, however, with the Nelson, whose tonnage is only 8000t more, I have to use at least 6 torps under the same conditions, no matter where I aim. I did this last night in Lock Ewe, where both ships were staying. It was calm and I used magnetic, setting depth to 1.5m below keel...

Does anyone know where to aim most efficiently at a ship, using torpedoes?
