Torpedoes - Trust or Proof - THREE DAY POLL

[Nobody]

I voted for option 3, because it's the simplest and compatible with (hopefully soon arriving) bugfixed SpringSharp3.

I have voted for option 1
I can made adjustement in the free Misc Weight as I want.
Torpedoes, mines, mortar, futur depth charges or add MG.

Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
   Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):
     128 lbs / 58 Kg = 10.0 x 3.0 " / 75 mm shells or 0.1 torpedoes
   Stability (Unstable if below 1.00): 1.48
   Metacentric height 1.1 ft / 0.4 m
   Roll period: 9.4 seconds
   Steadiness   - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 70 %
         - Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.10
   Seaboat quality  (Average = 1.00): 1.00

Hull form characteristics:
   Hull has raised forecastle,
     a normal bow and a cruiser stern
   Block coefficient (normal/deep): 0.400 / 0.413
   Length to Beam Ratio: 10.00 : 1
   'Natural speed' for length: 15.49 kts
   Power going to wave formation at top speed: 63 %
   Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 70
   Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 0.00 degrees
   Stern overhang: 0.00 ft / 0.00 m
   Freeboard (% = length of deck as a percentage of waterline length):
            Fore end,    Aft end
      - Forecastle:   25.00 %,  12.35 ft / 3.76 m,  12.35 ft / 3.76 m

   Ship tends to be wet forward

Ship space, strength and comments:
   Space   - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 204.0 %
      - Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 78.2 %
