It seems pretty difficult to lie in wait of wary escorts, though I have gotten pretty decent at sitting on a parallel track (offering a narrow profile), and bending 6 torps (4 forward and 2 aft) in like Beckham

(manual targeting of course).

Depends on your mod setup. I use TMO and Travs mod along with my tweaks for a realistic game, wouldn't think of taking on a DD on the surface. Really depends on the visual values, with stock and some mods the enemy can't see you worth a dern, so you can blast them and they never respond.

I'm using those as well. They see you as soon as you fire, for sure, but it's just that those fast reloading dual 6 inchers make short work of tin cans. It's like they are getting hit by a light cruiser.

The test depth of the Narwhal was 300. I t would have been cost prohibitive to upgrade a complete pressure hull when you could just as easily build a new boat. Better hulls, better boats but who would really want to spend money tearing everything apart just for a pressure hull? It would cost less to make a new boat.
