Trying to aim any other torp at a ship's prop makes little sense to me since the propeller area of the ship is a much smaller target than the vessel's entire broadside. The smaller the target area, the less room there is for error.

so this is a good way to make an enemy come to halt and then i still would be able to manouvre and send them to the bottom ,

thanks for the reply's people / captains
