Default Torp Speeds & Firing!

Hi Guys

I wonder if you can help me to get consistancy with my torpedo firing using manual TDC

I look at the Youtube videos and it looks easy enough

I get the range and AOB etc everything lines up ok but how do you know what speed to set the torps at? and when to release them correctly? I have to do a save first so if I muck it up I can have another go to get it right next time.

I am on a learning curve so am only using the medium setting 38%

Best wishes from Peter (Theberbster)

Use the fastest speed consistent with the range you plan to fire at. Only slow a torp down to get it to go farther.
