Not sure bud.. They're lot's of ports, ships within the contact zone, may just be too much from your laptop. I lag myself on my DT in some of those areas.

Before torps are fixed you'll suffer about a 50% failure either way. If you use influence on M14s, if they fail, they will premature, if contact, they'll dud, but either way about 50%..with TMO anyway. They're many factors that have values that effect torps, speed, angle, rough water, ect..

Targeting, depends on mods, with the megamods damage zones are redone, so you need to spread your torps, hit the same spot little damage. Also depends on a balance of flooding and blast zones, so playing TMO need to spread. Also depends on loadouts, ships carrying oil, fuel, ammo, ect. They have internal and external cargo. I've sunk 5 ships with one torp before hitting a ship full of oil or ammo and the explosions domino to other ships.

I just did the Battle of Santa Cruz, got one carrier and 3 CA's in a storm. Went to Tulagi to refit and here come the japs, about 10 Nagaras going full out at 19kts with a nice DD screen. Great group to attack Oct 14, 42, they come north end of Savo and stop at Lunga Point, then out, but on the 15th another CA TF comes in the same path and joins them and they basically leave together. Even seen some PT boats attack.
