I carry Type I torpedoes and Type II/III's in a 50/50 mix.

The type I's have a long range, if needed, and are dependable. Many Merc's don't notice them until it's too late, and don't see them at all at night or in stormy weather. In the late war the 5,000m range of the type IIs/IIIs can be dangerous to your health when escorts flank out to 4,000m.

The type II's or III's are particularly handy in dead calm seas or for angled shots at targets that the Type I's might bounce off from.

I avoid using the fancy course setting Torpedoes. They just don't seem to produce the desired second chance hit and I find setting them a distraction while setting up shots.

But that, of course, is just me.

PS: I usually set my impact Torpedoes at 4m. On most ships it's above the "bulge" but deep enough to really hurt. Maybe that's why it's the default depth setting?
