'IIRC' is shorthand for 'If I Remember Correctly.'
The type IX boats carry the most torpedoes - 22 aginst 14 on a type VII. The early models of homing torps, or 'gnats', were pretty unreliable historically but their performance improved as the war went on. They can be tricky to use and will sometimes home on the sound of your own boat!
The Communiyu Manual has a full run-down on torp types and their usage.
