But I am 99% sure that only S-boats used the mk.10s in real life in fact i dont think that there was enough mk.10s to go around they only had enough ofr the S-boats and i dont think any Mk.10s where bulit after the mid 30's there must have been some reason they did not use them as obviously if they where better than early mk.14s they would have so this should tell you something if they did not.

Try again. Lots of fleet subs used Mark 10s in the first year of the war, especially those boats based out of Australia. There was a chronic torpedo shortage in the Navy until about mid-1943, so a lot of obsolete torpedoes, including the Mark 10, were pressed into use.
