I know this is SH5 thread but please allow me...
In SH4 the longest range I have ever sunk a moving ship was 6700m with a MK14 set at slow ( max 8100m). The ship..a Fubuki DD at 10 knots did not change course even by 1 degree...(stupid captain deserved to lose his boat)
It took ages to get there, so long I even forgot I had fired it off..lol.
Static ships in harbor can also be taken out with zero gyro angle at long ranges with torp set slow. Gyro angles and ships degrees are magnified over long distances so are easy to miss.
In combat I try to get within 1000m before firing at any moving targets. I dont fire on a closing DD (26 kts or faster) until its at at least 650m and closing with zero degree gyro angle ( 0 stern or 180 aft)...for 99% hit ratio.
The same is applicable to SH5....shorter distances = greater hit ratio.
