Mark 23 ?

Last time at Pearl I had the opportunity to purchase 12 "Mark 23" torpedoes at 100 renown each. Did I waste 1200 renown or are these 23's better than the MARK 14's ?

Hope their good ones for I'm heading back to the "South China Sea" to find a couple Fuso's or Taiho's and if lucky the mighty "Yamato".

EDIT: Approximately 1 1/2 hours later ( game time after this pic was taken ) I was refueled at "Tulagi" ( Sub Tender in Solomon Islands ) and came across two juicy Tankers, unloaded four torps at them. Two were Mark 23 and two were Mark 14. After sinking both Tankers I turned around and headed back to sub tender Tulagi, refueled and resupplied the torps. Compare the pics, for the sub tender replaced the two Mark 23 torps for FREE. I use "Auto" torpedo loading so torps loaded same as they were fired, two Mark 23's on top, then the two Mark 14's. If this keeps up at the "Refits" I may never go home. lol

BTW the Mark 23's were set to 16' depth as both tankers had 15' 1" to the keel. both torps exploded UNDER the keel. If this keeps up I'm allways useing Mark 23's. ( if I have enough renown that is. )
