Trigger Maru and the AI torpedo spoting

The M14 leaves a wake, so the enemy will spot them, has nothing to do with the depth of the torp. It's not so much the problem with the wake, it's the fact the ships can stop and speed off much faster than they should. Still, if you shoot correctly you can get hits without problems.

The issue regarding the wake being seen easier is calmer water, daytime, probably fog to a degree, ect..things that effect visuals.

Later you can get M18 wakeless, slower and a lil less powefull, but I love em.

Most here use tactics with the M14 shooting the first more towards the bow, the next one MOT, ect. Ships will try to dodge, so if they see one coming forward, they'll slow down. The goal is to hold the ship with one so others will hit..still hoping they all do, this applies more to warships that can really speed up fast, including large capital warships.

Range also plays a big factor, the further you shoot, the more time they have to evade. Remember any ship that sees a torp will result in the others going into zigs.
