T-5 Torpedo Question

ChrisG2100 · 01-26-08, 10:53 AM

I am still trying to live though to the end of 1939.:rotfl: But, does the T-5 torpedo work like in real life? Is it a good homing torpedo? Does it follow the target? I hppe to use it in 1943. And I'm reading "Iron Coffins" by Herbert A. Werner and he's been talking about the upgrade.

Thanks

The T V is 4knots faster than the T IV and should only be used against targets travelling at 12 knots or above.
It is advisable to go deep after firing and set silent running or stop your electric motors before it travels the 400 metres it needs to arm itself.
In RL they were not all that effective, but in game they can be deadly

Used with magnetic arming , they are quite handy when a DD is bearing down on you

I load the aft tubes with nothing but...when being chased they come in quite handy...

Just a little question on the side... sorry for the hijacking.

But what was the typical amount of acoustic torpedos each U-Boat was allowed to carry in the later war years?
