You ought to read Adm. Eugene B. Fluckney book "Thunder Below" about the USS BARB.
I seem to remember reading somewhere that standard torpedo attacks was to use high speed. So that is what I've been using except once when I couldn't get any closer than 4300 yards and I used slow speed.
I seem to have figured out how to shoot a torpedo spread. I usually fire 1st amidships then at the stern and then at the bow. I've tried walking shots stern to bow, but it doesn't always work for me.
So far I've had only 1 premature explosion, 2 or 3 duds, 1 run under target and explode on the other side and 1 run deep and explode against the harbor wall.
