Default Mk 27 torpedos

odd little buggers. look way too short to have the explosive capability to damage a target enuff to sink it. had one chase down a DD but it managed to get away, but not before sinking another DD and freighter . i'm assuming it's a variable speed torp? forgot to try to set it to fast, just in case it was. also, what file can be edited so the 27s won't cost 500 a pop?, cuz that's just

I've never used the Mk 27 before, but I think it has only on speed setting and it's not really ment to sink ships. It's a homing torpedo, that should take out the ships propellor.

The Mk. 27 is ment as a defensive weapon but it is too slow to catch DDs. As I said that I've never used it but I've heard that DDs are too fast and too maneuverable for the MK 27.

LOL, the price is actually the reason why I've never used it.
