timing torpedos

[rat sub]

the problem is when i fire the ships see the torp wakes and evade them it really fustrating

is there any way to fire at close range at periscope depth and dive quick.

sneak up real close or let them come to you,,, fire all forward tubes,,, drop scope, drop to 90 ' go flank to a pre-"x"ed spot just on the other side,,, drop tp 2 kts,, come up to periscope view ( already looking at 180 degrees), then give em your aft tubes
then go deep and flee dead ahead.


git er done

but that means your emptyimg your tubes for one ship if your running silent thats a no no the only thing is dive deep and hope thay dont depth charge you!?

only shoot merchants at 2000 or less range, 1000 if zig zagging.

only shoot warships from 1500-1000 range.

only shoot destroyers from 400-600 range but under 375 the torpedos wont have time to arm and will be duds.

these ranges will give you the highest chance to not miss, shooting from longer distances occassionally works but more often just ends up wasting torpedos

Usually a good idea to shoot two anyhow just in case the first one is a dud or deep runner.
