Silentway III,

Make sure you are more than 300m from any ship - to give your torpedoes time to arm.

Other than that as close as you can get to merchantmen without being spotted by escorts. Do not forget you want the angle on the bow to be as close as you can get to 90 degrees when you fire. Once you have had a few totpedoes bounce off a ship because you fired at too fine an angle for detonation you will get the idea.

If you are planning to bushwack a destroyer you want to be at less than 1500m ideally (although you can take them from farther out with experience).
