How to use acoustic torps

1 - Yes. If submerged below periscope depth you can also take bearing and range data from your hydrophones/sonar and fire on a rough solution that way.

2 - Tail on - they will home in directly on the props. I also find that they work better on influence setting. Sometimes with contact fuses they fail to work reliably when they hit the screws/propshafts directly.

3 - Yes, and see above.

4 - 400 metres. They begin seeking after that. You'll notice their left/right swaying motion as they home in if you check the F6 plot map.

5 - If a ship slows down sufficiently or stops dead, yes, the tracker will lose them.

6 - I've used T5s for just this sort of attack so, again, yes.
