He did this on three occasions. And, why not? He will get free Mark 10s, when he gets back to base.

I suggest that all torpedoes should cost renown in the early war. Make the player believe in the torpedo shortage. And, if he is going to have to spend 300 renown to sink a ship valued at 70 renown, he may reconsider.

Evil man you are lol jk. I have considered using renown in TMO for torpedoes in early war due to shortage and for later war to make steam fish cost in order encourage use of the new standard, the MK 18. Still undecided.

I am somewhat ignorant on the specifics of the torpedo shortage. I am aware that by Spring of 42 roughly, the pre war stockpile of MK 14's was nearly exhausted. Pompano for example deployed in April 1942 with load of MK 10's due to the shortage as did other boats, heard they became especially scarce for Australia based boats.
