Talk:533mm Quintuple Torpedo Mount (Initial Model)/@comment-32962711-20181225175725/@comment-85.76.32.212-20181226101722

There really were so many cases when early US torpedos failed. Though it was the aircraft dropped version that failed the most, because launching conditions were more difficult. Seriously the only reliable way to sink something with it was to hit the target two times more than with good torpedos. At the very least the thing should have negative accuracy like the early Italian 381mm.

Most of the few Japanese torpedo failures seem to have been just "hits" from bad angle, when the fuse didn't get to detonate.

I wonder why we didn't get British, German and Italian surface ship torpedos. Not that those would be anything special, but Jervis could use some fit bonus too.
