electric torpedoes

[Corsair]

Nothing beats the old steamers... (Except for daylight attacks) In a convoy attack I find most useful the different speed settings to time the running times on far/near targets.
The full crew in the torp compartment is only useful for reloading. (Although it is unrealistic, you can even shoot torps with nobody in there...)

im gonna second that.
i always use steamers.
1. better range (i think)
2 can adjust speed
3 as above for DD`S electric eels i find are useless against them

Let me third that
Steamers are faster and longer ranged.....if your using electric (especially in bad weather) set them to 'impact'
Both require a run length of 300 metres before they 'arm'

Not at all

When the DD is chasing right towards you without zigzaggin....and distance is 350-400m then even the electric torp hits nearly 95% if it´s depth set a half meter to a meter under the DDs keel and on 350°-10° (for fore tubes) or 170°-190° (for aft tubes) in calm seas (in heavy seas it´s another story )....but steamers are much better, especially in night conditions.

For day attacks I always use a few magnetic electrics but only if sea conditions allow it.
