Torpedo realism question...

Hard to say...for the sake of realism, I always shoot 2 fishes in salvo mode but for the smaller ships as Coastal merchants and small merchants. As well as for some warships as DDs. For the bigger (C2, C3, T1, T2,etc) I do not like to risk the target to get just "disabled" (specially when itÂ´s a convoy and once you shoot, picking your periscope out of the water is a risky thing, with some DDs and frigates looking for you), so 2 eels do make the job pretty well.

As well as you, almost all IÂ´ve read about real U boat attacks, at least 2 ells were fired...sometimes even all the tubes emptied, but for some exceptions.
