Damn the TORPEDOES!

[CAP1]

Does your copilot have to hang off the wing like Keanu Reeves in Speed hanging underneath the bus to detach the torpedo?

Carriers?  How about how many ships were sunk by PT Torpedoes period?  Between malfunctioning torpedoes and it being suicidal in general it just didn't happen alot.

D00d! John Wayne sank like twelve all by himself! Didn't you see the movie?

McHale's Navy sank hundreds over a 4 season run.

  I concede that was the intent but it may result in 0 torpedo's getting fired as the PT will lose favor.
Avoiding the PT spawns was the solution of 100 per minute. CV captains now have one less threat as most enemy will re-up fairly quickly and try something else.

Well they could always make it so you can't fire more torpedos untill your previous ones have detonated or ran outa steam.

Really?  I don't remember them sinking much.  If anything, IIRC, it was submarines.  Depth Charges as much as torpedoes.
