Default Best torpedo and coating

Hi.

I've always wondered which coating for the uboat is the better. I suppose it depends on where you are located? Is the atlantic coating the best, it is at least the most expensive. But I like the idea of the cheap coating with sound absorbing material, what should I go for?

And people, what torpedo do you prefer? I don't like homing torpedos very much, they kind of make you a bad torpedo man in the long run.

Do you guys use the steinbarsch 45 knot torpedo?

Could anyone enlighten me on these two things that I described in the first post?

Also, Could anyone do me a favor and download this for me: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=2819 and reupload it to a file hosting service. I have to wait 24 hours until I can get it

What is the best uboat coating, the coating that gives you 15% noise reduction looks good to me, but it is way cheaper than the atlantic coating, but the atlantic coating have no sound absorption. I wonder which is better, do anyone know?

I used that black "sound absorbent" coating on the VIIB and I had no idea if it was working or not. I guess it's something you'll really have to look in the files to see if using it gives any kind of noise percentage cut. I imagine it wouldn't be terribly hard to find or even to make work if it needs it. Maybe somewhere as simple as the cfg files... I think I might have a look myself 'cause I plan to use it again when it becomes available to me.
I don't like the homing torpedo's either except I keep one or two on board for sticky situations. Great for (theoretically) knocking out the DD that's been harrassing me I'll use the good ol' TI for night attacks and the TIII (I think, The fast electric one) for daytime. My favorite will always be the 105mm deck gun when-ever possible Arrrrgh
