Mk 16 torpedo tactics?

If you go over to the SH4 forum, I've posted accounts about a number of long range shots. Most recently for Patrol 8 of CAPT Glenn Ford, using the 3D TDC radar mod, I actually got 2 hits at the amazing range of 13,200 yards on a ship. Since the range of the Mark 16 is 13,700, that's got to be about the max.

Later in the same patrol I sank a Yamato at a little over 4,000 yards with 4 Mark 16's. Unfortunately, a 3,300 yard, 6 torpedo salvo at the sister ship completely missed. I'm still scratching my head over that.
