The RN got 50% hits at 600-1000 yds in simulated torpedo attacks by destroyers at night in peacetime.

I seem to remember some tests Jellicoe did before WW1 broke out that suggested torpedoes were effective at far greater ranges than that, if the target did not maneuver to avoid anyway.

That's a fantastic conclusion [:D]

Does it seem to anyone besides me that perhaps the torpedo part of surface combat was nerfed a bit too much?
The 40k range was irrelevant for combat purposes. I don't know of a single hit above 15k or so except maybe the Kortenauer (sp?) and the IJN transports at Java Sea.

I have conducted some tests. You can see results in AAR section (especially posts number 4, 5 and 6) : tm.asp?m=2215485
Use Mission speed for your TFs and you will not see Ridiculous Surface Combat Results again...

Why should you reduce your ships' speed going into combat? That wouldn't make any sense at all; every surface battle always had ships steaming at full speed to make themselves harder to hit. The problem is the combat routines are taking this to an extreme.
