They have four torps but only 2 tubes, so you need to run away to reload. Unlike the Vosper & Elco, the tubes fire straight forward so its a bit easier to aim - although the viewing position is offset to starboard so its still not that easy!

They have one twin 20mm and two little things about as effective as water pistols...nowhere near the awesome AA capability of the US Elco but not much different to the Vosper. However, they are much tougher than either.

You get two DCs on aft mounted K-Guns.

I've got speeds of 36kts out of them, though mostly it seems to be around 33kts.

The first two shots were long range from the side. The next two I did one run at a time, head to head to avoid their deck guns, loosing the fish at short range. The final one, I pulled up alongside its bows underneath the arc of the AA guns and heaved an old beer barrel full of TNT into his hold - he didn't like that one little bit, I can tell you!
