I've almost never had an ambushed ship dodge a steam torpedo. That's very hard to do in real life. The bigger problem is that it leaves a trail for any escort to follow back. I've used T1s for 80% of my 600,000 tons of sinkings, and only use TIIs when the TIs are out or when I'm attacking a convoy and every bit of stealth helps. In my IXB I load 60/40 I/II, with Tubes 1,3,&5 Type Is, and Tubes 2,4,&6 Type IIs. No complaints about that so far!
