Torpedo Boat

The Torpedo Boat is a small ship equipped with 2 21" Torpedoes. It is one of the biggest threats to large ships such as Frigates, Destroyers, and Cruisers. It has a high speed but low maneuverability. It is a menace to any large/medium size surface ship. 
==Usage==
The Torpedo Boat is mainly used for sinking large ships because of its torpedoes. It's perfect for hit-and-runs because the torpedoes are single use, and only reload after 45 seconds. Torpedoes are extremely effective against ships, breaching multiple hulls upon contact. 
The Torpedo Boat also has anti-submarine and anti-air capabilities, making it a great all-rounder ship.
==Tactics==
===Using===
When using a Torpedo Boat, the primary goal is to hit a ship with both torpedoes then run away and repair any hulls until the torpedoes are recharged. Torpedo Boats have strength in numbers. Two or more Torpedo Boats can sink a Destroyer which doesn’t do enough damage control.
Torpedoes are fast but not that fast, make sure you account for the time it takes to travel. Also be sure to repair all leaking hulls and turn on the water pump so you don't sink.
===Attacking===
When attacking a Torpedo Boat from a ship with naval guns (Frigate, Destroyer, Cruiser), be sure to aim for the hull as the rest of the ship isn't important. The Torpedo Boat should be attacked as soon as possible, with as many guns as possible. The best ones to use are the 3 inch (or higher caliber) guns as they can consistently penetrate the hulls with each shot.
Ships without naval guns cannot efficiently sink a Torpedo Boat and should resort to hijacking or bombing (40mm AA Gun can sink Torpedo Boats, but with a struggle, along with smaller guns can eliminate their captain, next section.)
Another method is to attack the captain and crew of the torpedo boat. Some weapons can kill the captain, disabling both the Torpedo Boat’s aiming and firing, and also the movement of the ship, although someone else can take control. This is the best method for ships with high-caliber automatic turrets such as the Dual 30mm Slater. With enough firepower, the crew can be killed, preventing the repair of the ship, and sinking it eventually.
Another method to counter Torpedo Boats is by hijacking. The best boats to use when hijacking are the gunboat and the Patrol Speedboat, as they both have a higher speed than the Torpedo Boat, while other boats might struggle to catch up to it.
The best way to dodge torpedoes is by driving away from the Torpedo Boat right in front of it, and turning as the torpedoes approach.
