Torpedo and Ship vs. Ship
Posted: Wed Mar 30, 2005 4:02 pm
Heya everyone, I am actually going to post a question rather than answer one 
My brother-in-law brought this to my attention, and I figured since i didn't know the answer and we couldn't figure it out exactly, others would probably wonder the same thing:
Obviously Ship Combat in research is attack vs. naval vessels (non-subs) and sub combat is attack vs subs.
What the heck is Torpedo? When is it used and what is it used for?

PS: After three tries, my brother in law playing Germany and I playing Japan we are still yet to defeat the AI on Normal difficulty. We won't give up! We managed to almost destroy russia last time, but the Italian Invasion was coming and the partisans were growing restless and I made a blunder with Japan's navy.
Cool story behind that: I decided rather than a pearl harbor "hope to cripple them" strategy I would focus on building a navy and take the pacific fleet head on. It almost worked, with a 68% chance of victory: Huge naval battle, my 8 battleships and 4 carriers against the Pacific Fleet.... but I lost (I'm not playing roulette) and my entire fleet was destroyed because they could not flee. DOH (I still crippled their ships)
