Torp Mark (14, 18, 23 & 27) Info Req

I Miss the FAT and FAL-pattern torpedoes you got in SH3.

You had Ladder-pattern, which was basically an anti-convoy torpedo

Circular pattern, supposed to be anti-escort but probably handy in a number of situations

And finally, the model that had a second gyro setting. So you'd set the first gyro setting, then the range and gyro angle for the second course. Very versatile- the torp could basically make a U-turn in case you barely missed your target, or veer off in another direction (to hit a different ship) if it missed the first. Pricey renown-wise, but fun.

Just out of curiosity, how did the Leetest of the German homing torps compare (game-wise) to the US homing torpedo (Game wise)? 800 renown for one torpedo was steep, but having that bastard chambered in the stern tube was practically a 'get out of jail free' card if you had an escort chasing after you. Saved my life on a number of occasions, but I've heard gripes about America's one and only acoustic torpedo...
