One fish is usually good to take out any single warship.

I never head straight at him before firing torpedo, since I had little success even at 600m. They were very successful at evading such torpedoes. If you keep him at ~300 degrees, torpedo will hit his side, but you have to wait until he gets very close before firing from such an angle. It seems its better to aim manually when firing from such a angle, because auto locking seems to barely miss ship's aft. I do not use electric torpedoes because they are too slow. I do not use Falkes (accoustic) either, because they always impact into its screw, sometimes not sinking it. For some reason I get rid of all Falkes while in port and replace them with steamers
