Question about Balao Class and torpedoes

Red October1984 · 01-07-13, 09:59 PM

Im running TMO and RSDRC....(looks down at my sig..) and I just recieved the USS Balao in the middle of 1942...Is that historical? I had thought that the Balao was introduced in 1943.

I had taken the new boat out to see how deep I could dive...I was all fine and dandy until I got to 800 feet. So am I good to 750? Everytime I get a new command, I always try to learn the ins and outs of each class of boat.

When do my torpedoes get fixed? I am sick of these faulty Mk 14s...In the book I am reading, War In The Boats: My WW2 Submarine Battles, the USS Crevalle didnt get orders to remove the magnetic detonator until 1944.

Which are better? The Mk 14 or the Mk 23?
