The 20 knots speed is the only limitation.
You can fire torpedoes at any planes/rudder angle as long as you don't exceed 20 knots.

Have fun blowing your bow off with a Mk 37 in a steep turn.

On the steam forums devs specifically stated 15 kts, I would agree that the Mk 37 should be at 10 or less because it's so slow.

I've just tested it.
Skipjack, '68. 20 knots, full right rudder, full planes up, full ballast up. Fired a Mk37 on a port beam - no damage at all. The torpedo cleared the tube and immediately turned left.

I'm not saying it's a safe thing to do. I'm just answering to OP that firing at or below 20 knots won't damage your tubes, no matter what's your rudder/planes settings.

You'll break the wires with any shot that's outside of a 60 degree cone off your bow though. But perfectly safe to launch up to 20 knots as others have said. Also with the Mk 37, even if it turns around and starts homing on you, just out run it.

Hmm ok... maybe they fixed it.

I've definitely had a Mk37 plough straight into my nose after firing before.

EDIT - Nope, still managed to blow my bows up twice unless I was extremely careful where I was aiming the 37. So much for arming range

Default Is there anyway to change max launch speed

Sorry to necro an old thread, but is there anyway to change the max launch speed of torpedo tubes in override like you can with VLS?
