Your torpedo loadout

Early 1942 for me and it's T1s in all tubes. With their long range and adjustable speed I find them far more versatile than the electrics.

When T3s and FATs become available I'll start patrolling with electrics.

I used to play whit only T1's, (shot fast and at point blank range) but now I'm forcing myself to learn how to use all the other types.

In the early years I load primarily T1's and only keep electrics for the aft tube and one loaded in one of the fore tubes (keep one or two in reserve). For me the adjustable speed of the T1's is invaluable for timing impacts during convoy attacks and I like the high speed for zig-zagging targets. The electrics I save for warships or risky situations...though they can be used as general use also.

Later war I use gas FAT's in the fore tubes and one tube with an Electric Falke (with a few of these in reserve). In the aft tubes I alternate the Electric Falke and Electric FAT's (primarily in case of emergencies where I have to fight an escort...though they can be used for standard attacks also...and usually are).

Falkes are nice cripplers, you can then come back and finish off the ship at your leisure.

T-1 steamer fan here, a recent task force encounter in daylight in somewhat calm seas has me rethinking some stratigy. Thing is, I was forced to attack over 3k, so of course the t-1'a were spotted and capitol ships begn to turn but it was too late. And Im not confident with the electrics past 2k ish.
