TI torpedo malfunction

When you have a fast moving ship at close range, or you are in a convoy and want your torpedoes to all hit at about the same time. I rarely shoot at anything beyond 2000M because there is too much of a chance of something going wrong.

Fast is great for impact torpedos. Also, because the run time is shorter, you minimize changes in target behavior and (to a lesser extent) aiming errors. I much prefer fast impacts, and only use electrics when I need stealth (e.g., against a convoy), and only use magnetics when I can't get a good AoB with an impact (and I can't reposition).

Impact every time......and magnetic on occasion March 41 onwards (depending on circumstances)
