The problem w/ US torps is that they have no range and don't do much damage, any DD w/
bulge can take two US torps head on, and barely tak emore than 1k damage. US torps have
good speed, so i'll give'em that.

Ok you think your sommers will be a good tw. WRONG!!. Sommers mght seem like a
good choice but not really. Your probably thinking wow if a fubu is so great and it
only has 3 slots a sommers can be good too. Well if you think that your wrong
because one the IJN has the best torping in the game the us don't. The us have
pettey bad torps until very high lvls and still they can't match the IJN's. Now the
sommers is not a good choice because it's kinda slow compared to other dd's, won't
have great torps, And it's not ment to be a tw.

P.S. You are a tw only if u have torps on your ship so if u have 2 rear guns your not
a TW your only a TW if you have no guns on your ship and only torps.

guys there are only 2 veteran somers tw. me and xeno. i know for a fact that u can get a
somers to go 59 overdrive speed and still have 3 4x launchers. use 3 4x mark 11 launchers
and set the shtuff on gradual u can fit 2-3 shots per launcher on that sucker. then go out
there and happy hunting. ps if used right u can take down a sima or fubu, belive me i did
it to 2 goldbar sima's and several fubus

it is a decent torp whore, you just have to find a decent target, i.e. a BB or CA.
Against them 12 torps does a lot of damage.
