Usage in battles
It is best to use this torpedo with 4 m depth setting, as its low TNT filler amount combined with low top speed, makes it useless against anything faster than a dreadnought. Keeping the 1 m depth will prevent it from damaging dreadnoughts as their torpedo protection is fairly effective against these torpedoes.

Cons:
- It is not fast enough to hit destroyers and cruisers, and does not carry enough TNT to destroy dreadnoughts
