How many fish do you fire?

mfddan · 06-03-07, 07:24 PM

I was just curious if anyone has any set ways on how many torpedos you fire at certain types of targets?

I fire 1 at DDs
2 at small targets
3 at medium to Large Merchants/Tankers
4 at Light/Heavy Cruisers
6 at BBs and CVs

USS Drum SS-228

This may seem stupid, but I fire one at at a time at juicy targets, if they are still floating after first, I fire another (I use torp damage x1.5 mod though, so usually they aren't).

1 at DDs and Small tankers/freighters
1 at Medium tankers/freighters
2 at Large tankers/freighters
2 at Liners, all sizes
4 at everything else except the pirate ship....I'm planning on having the crew board that bastage and make his crew walk their plank.

Same procedure as UnSalted, except I plan to RAM the pirate ship.

wow, you guys waste a lot of hardware on unworthy targets. if there are only small or medium merchants, i break off the attack, and look for better targets.

if its a bigger merchant, i'll give him one shot. if he is still moving, he might get another. finish him with deck gun.

I do it realistic

3 fish per target, one set for MOT, one with left, one with right gyro angle.
That was standard procedure, except for really big targets.

u know, today i tried to finish the last tutorial mission (u know which i'm talking bout - the convoy mission) and i made the decision of not firing many at once. so i fired 1 or 2 at most at once. crippled the 3 huge tankers. one coastal. killed a small destroyer w/my tail .blank! one shot (obviously a fluke.) and those two huge tankers hung around until i shove more and more and more torps into them and others one-by-fekin'-one! reload times really strung me out. luckily killing the one destroyer, sort of unloaded my responsibility and the other one hung back all the time i was slowly killing the convoy.
