Late War Torpedo Fix

[sparow]

Hi chaps!

Rolex, good show! I wish I had seen that announcement, I was on vacations, I could have been there!

I was launching fish at 100 feet high and speed 150...

Nice method, duly copied, pasted and printed and starting practicing soon!

One question: we already have fast torpedoes in AH, then? The JU and the Ki's are the fast ones?

Or could we still ask for faster ones?

Cheers,

Given that both the German U-Boats in the Atlantic...slaughtered merchant shipping at a horrific rate for years, I'd bet the torpedo is up pretty close to the bomb/rocket in total tonnage.

Don't have a source to back me up here, but...I'd always heard that U-Boat deck guns accounted for more merchant shipping that U-Boat torpedos.  Mostly due to the fact that they made most of their attacks on the surface, and at night. The U.S. subs in the Pacific were much more prone to use torpedoes.

I was always under that impression as well, that deck guns sank more ships than torpedoes. Again I have no source to say this but I know that I've seen it in a few books over the years.
