Torpedo Loadout & Tactics

I prefer electrics. No wake and so you can attack at any time of day. The 5000m range is sufficient as I usually attack from 1000m or less.

However, as the war progresses (I'm in 1942 now), I am considering steamers for longer-range capability. I am now finding it prudent to make my first pass at a convoy to take out the flanking escorts on one side of the convoy, and then make a later second attack on that same side for an easier approach.
