A Few Things I Have Wondered About

I confess I do not play in full realism mode (though that's what I would like to try) and hardly ever looked at F6 because I found the manual explanations to be confusing. Suddenly this has changed. I didn't know we could set torpedo speed. Nor did I look close enough to notice that pre-war torpedoes were faster. This changes things.

I didn't even realize we had a 'salvo' mode. I'm sure I clicked that button before and it didn't do anything or make sense. Now, attacking larger targets is much easier as I can open all involved tubes with a single command. D'oh!

Thanks again.
