I have always held by the firm belief that anything over 4000 yards was a waste of a perfectly good, if be it faulty, torpedo.
In my world torpedos are never faulty, "Dud torpedos" unchecked in realistic settings.

No self-respecting captain would take a shot at such a long range, unless the target was absolutely stationary.
Even then with the air bubbles generated by the steam-powered torps, it just gives away your presence too early.

I have a question and to avoid another thread, I pretty sure I started at Port Brisbane for my first time. I can't end patrol for some reason, am I supposed to dock at another port from where I started? I'm at the end of patrol 7 with my first try at using my new Balao class sub, this is my first new port from my old port of pearl. Thanks for any help!
