Since the number of Torp. is rather limited,
you have to treate them as Gold, having a
torp. can as well be the diference betwin
surviving or not a situation, so since I think
and plan carefully n attack to any ship in a
convoy I have allways a chance of making my first
strick as destructive and powerfull as possible,
so firing torp by torp to various ships with
the diference of minutes I can this way hit
more ships in the first strick and then hide
for later to finish the job I have started!


The salvo its usefull however if you strick
a capital ship !:hmm:

but that is very rare to encounter!

Salvo on large warships. Otherwise I like to pick my point of impact.

Any ship bigger than a C2 gets a salvo of 2 eels at a spread angle of 3-5 degrees, about 800-1000 meters ideally.
If it does not sink, the third fish leaves alone. No second salvo on the same ship.

Almost always I fire a salvo. Unless of course that salvo would fire a mixture of steam and electric torpedoes. Then I'd fire seperately.

Salvo for large ships one by one for smaller ones. I don't want to waste a torpedo on a doomed target
