 == Torpedo Turning ==
-The Torpedo turning mechanic, found on the [[Navy:United_Kingdom|British battlecruisers]] (the ''[[Navy:Tiger|Tiger]]'' to ''[[Navy:Duncan|Duncan]]'' line) serves to expand the aiming possibilities of fixed torpedo tubes. In the game, it allows fixed torpedo tubes to launch their torpedoes in directions they cannot physically turn towards. When a torpedo with the mechanic is launched, it immediately turns towards the direction that was specified. After completing a fancy turning animation, the torpedo continues in a straight line.

 ''Smoke'' is another option in order to be able to torpedo without being seen. While ships firing artillery from smoke can sometimes be traced by their shell arcs, the delay and lower visibility of torpedoes makes it harder to precisely determine the location of a ship firing torpedoes out of a smoke cloud.
-However, keep in mind that smoke works both ways. A smoke cloud is an attractive target for some torpedoes of the enemy's own, as a ship parked in a smoke cloud will have trouble spotting and dodging them. Even if the target does evade the torpedoes they may be forced out of the smoke cloud in the process. Also, smoke will not block ''Hydroacoustic Search'' or ''Surveillance Radar''. Finally, players will often turn away from smoke in order to minimize the damage they take from a source they cannot fire back at.

 === Island Ambushes ===

 The main difficulty is setting up the ambush—it is often more of a matter of opportunity than anything else. In the early game there are often too many ships about to set up the ambush undetected. Guess where opposing ships, especially lone ships, may be headed and note any islands they may be passing by. If you can get behind one of those islands first, you can try setting up an ambush.
-Note that as with smoke, islands will not block ''Hydroacoustic Search'' or ''Surveillance Radar''. Furthermore, aircraft can see over islands. Ships will automatically detect each other at a range of 2 km regardless of islands or other factors. Finally of course, other ships may also be able to spot. If the enemy has these measures, they may be able to avoid your ambush and/or counterattack. On the other hand, if you have these measures they can aid in the ambush.

 If the enemy ship is moving quickly and/or you have slow torpedoes, you may be able to launch even before the target has line of sight to you. This is safer than the conventional charge around the corner, but the delay makes it less reliable.

 If sitting in smoke, avoid presenting a full broadside to the direction of likely enemy torpedo attacks. This will make it less likely to be hit if the enemy fires torpedoes into the smoke. However, a moderate angle may be useful in dodging laterally.
-Even if you are undetected, you are not immune to torpedoes. Be careful when passing into obvious chokepoints near where enemy destroyers may have pre-fired them. Unless you are actively trying to spot torpedoes using a maneuverable ship or ''Hydroacoustic Search'', try to avoid sailing between friendly ships and any enemies that may be trying to torpedo them, as you can still be hit by torpedoes that were not intended for you.

	It is worth noting that on destroyers, the deep-water torpedoes do not set off the torpedo alarm, nor do they show an indicator on the UI for which direction they are coming from like normal torpedoes. As well as this, deep-water torpedoes simply pass underneath a destroyer harmlessly and continue on their way. This can lead to some interesting team play, stacking torpedoes under allied destroyers.

Currently, they are found only on many [[Navy:Pan-Asia\|Pan-Asian]] and few Japanese ships. What makes them different from regular torpedoes are their unique stealth and ship targeting properties. With an average spotting distance of 0.9 km, deep-water torpedoes are much more difficult to detect than normal torpedoes.
