and you can click on boats and see how long their patrols lasted.
Thanks, i will. Very interesting to me.

Now i have 26 patrols behinde and there is a new torpedos MK16, new to me, what was the idea with them, i mean hydrogin how it works? And are they useful in the game, i haven't like those MK18 electric ones, difficult to handle, is my opinion. MK 14 is still my favorite. Enxperienses about MK16, good or bad ones in use?

The Mark 16 is a Hydrogen Peroxide Torpedo, It has incredibly long range at the same speed of the Mark 14 on a fast setting, I'm also pretty sure it leaves no trail, not sure wheter it's more reliable then the Mark 14 though

Yes MK16 works fine, i just had a chance to test it in a game. 2400 meters, fast as Mk14 and Bang ! Destroyers had no any idea what the f... was it ! A cruise missile or what !

I saw also a trail and maby that's why an other destroyer in a long range avoided the torp just before it hit, but it's allso posible that they heard it's coming.
