5 - The torpedo strength are the same if you use the same type. It depends on where you hit the target, I believe there are certain damage sections on the target, such as hitting a magazine. It's good to hit the merchants under the stacks (at least for me). Merchants have different cargo loadouts even though they are the same class ship. Some tankers may be empty while others are loaded with aviation fuel.

I set all my options before starting the career (full realism except no duds and no manual aiming) but had duds on my first patrol. I've doubled checked several times and "no duds" is still selected.

I usually accept the default torpedo setting for the first shot then put the next towards the stern, a third, if necessary, towards the bow. If that isn't sufficient, and no annoying destroyers are around, I maneuver to put the next shot into the other side of the target; unless I can safely surface and enjoy some target practice with the deck gun.

After noticing the various versions I double checked my d/l before installing.

Mine were set in the options screens before starting the career (and are still correctly set); does it make a difference accessing them from the radio?
