torpedos

What about later in the war, 1944, I assume it is best to use an G7e, but is the running time suitable for those fast moving destroyers and passenger liners?

For the small ones (c2 and smaller) a magnetic about 2 meters under the keel usually does the trick

When I was using impacts, it usually took 2 eels for a C2..

Good Luck..

I guess you misunderstood which torpedo I was referring to. The G7e is the electric which has a fixed speed of 30 kts, maximum range is supposed to be 7,500 m

And the G7es - Acoustic Guidance with a speed of only 20 kts.

Are these fast enough to knock out a Flower Corvette and all the other fast moving DD or DDE which don't really slow down too much.

I was actually answering YOBERTS question since he started the thread.. I don't know how or if the TDC takes into account the type of fish you have loaded.. The 10 kt. difference in the speed should not be a factor unless you're shooting from astern and then it would never catch up..

about the battleships, it is pretty much about aiming too

I dident see it mentioned or missed it. Are you running a mod ?

If your running the Grey Wolves mod the damage model was modified. Some belive a little too much.

However it is still better than the "vanilla" version wherein DD's are literally blown out of the water with a single torp.

I understand this is going to be modified further in the upcoming new release.
