I just use the electrics. You have to get fairly close but until they impact noone knows that they're underway. Electric eels rock!

Steamers for me as well.

The other advantage with steamers is that you can fire your bow tubes on the "slow" setting and then turn around and fire your aft tube on the "fast" setting. With a little maths and good timing all 5 torps will hit all 5 ships at the same time.

I definitely prefer steam torpedoes. As well as being faster, they have a longer range - especially useful for the FaT and LuT torpedoes!

Ahh, well it seems too be a preference then.

Kind of glad Im not alone at least.

Your far from alone, steamers rule.

Speed is accuracy.

In real life, crews were forbidden to use the T1's on the fast (44 knot) speed setting for the first few years of the War, because the engines had a tendency to overheat at that setting. So if you are a stickler for accuracy, set them to 40 knots.
