Torpedo power

[Paul Riley]

I am sure in real life after their assigned patrol was over they got orders to move to new areas,to help in convoy attacks or maybe to pick up survivors somewhere,and even with intelligence gathering by 'shadowing' convoys etc.There IS a mod that simulates this I believe.
What I do is assign myself new patrols in the immediate area,or move to the nearest ship/convoy lane from my position at the time.Fuel economy is very important and I work out all my approx fuel consumptions before moving out,and reserve about 250-500km of fuel for emergencies and high speed chases.

What you could do yourself is consult your map and move out to the nearest EXPECTED area where there is likely to be traffic,and operate out there until you have tired or are running low on fuel.Again,try and work out your fuel consumptions.If fuel economy is important I could show you how I work all my consumptions out,hourly,daily,weekly etc.

I edited the torp power myself just now..

i did the training mission and it can sink the medium freighter in 1 hot after a while of flooding. and the small tanker went up in a fireball split in half and sunk instantly.

I will be happy to share the modified files

I think the only problematic "tough guys" are the C2 Cargo (Stock) and the Medium Cargo (GWX). Could those particular ships be the problem, as opposed to the torpedoes?

(I once put 7 torpedoes into a C2 before she went down).

That is outrageous

You sir, are so right.

I had remembered reading about Kretchmer having a particularly difficult time with a stuborn ship, that didn't agree with his "1 ship, 1 torpedo" philosophy, and got over it, after quite a bit of cursing and carrying on.

Is it just me, or are the damn coastal and tramp steamers tougher than some of the larger cargo ships?

About the only ships I can consistently one-shot are escorts.

Its not just you,trust me.I have just this minute sent one into a French Granville from 300m,square amidships below the smoke stack,and it is still heading away at 7-8kts.Seems it didnt even glance it but I can see the huge hole in its hull...surely it must be taking on SOME water?!
