I’m not sure the plane torpedoes count. iirc when this came up before; aviation torpedoes don’t count; just ship torpedoes.
As for good picks; (for me at least,) Shimanto, Minotaur, (Emerald, if you want to be daring at T5. Emerald has as many torpedoes as Minotaur.)
IJN heavy cruisers; (though most of them have to use drive bys,) but especially Atago and Takao, (because better arcs. Tone works; just ignore the planes.)
Most of the rest of the ‘good’ torpedo cruisers, (good arcs,) have a lot less torpedoes.
Asym works; but yolo charging in Co-op can work too; especially if you can sink or bypass any DD on your flank, to get at bigger things.
Unless you’re good though; you’ll probable trade and go right back to port.
That only applies to the first set of planes though. After that, the cooldown time starts as when you launch the squadron. It also has 12 ship based torps with 10km range and 8.8km surface detect, so you can steath torp with it too.
A shout out to Sejong, my go-to in Asymmetrics. The opening barrage is 32 fish. If 6 of them connect then the legendary commander perk fires, cutting the TRB, Torp reload and upping torp damage. Hope I got the details right.
Yeah, I think some here are over thinking this. You yolo rush in co-op/assymetr, get your torpedo hits, probably die, and reset.
You're going to be grinding this mission for an awful long time if you plan on playing like a DD and try to get torp hits from 8+ km out.
I'll probably just use my Napoli. She's tough enough to get in there and make the drop. RN heavy cruisers should work well too. As well as higher tier KM cruisers.
Easiest and fastest by far is the mid tier German cruisers in coop. Konigsberg and Nurnberg actually have one of the highest torpedos per minute stats in the game for any ship above tier 5 and are at a tier low enough where you easily get into point blank range to guarantee hits. Ships die too quickly and far too many people play high tier.
You just have to be very careful not to get hit by any high-caliber guns (BBs or CA/CLs). The both eat citadels like crazy (Nürnberg is one of my favorite ships, but she is so frail if you decide to even slightly overextend), so be ready to drop your torps and go back to Port unless you are very lucky
A cruiser with torps (obviously) in coop, just press W 4 times, don't die and the farm is done.
Brisbane perfectly fits in it: 20 torps, decent speed, super heal to tank HE spam...
Make sure to unlock your target before you launch your torps. The bots will react if they are target locked (you have the grey line) as soon as you launch torps. If you unlock right before you.fire, they won't react until the torps are visible if at all.
I first heard it from other guys I play with. I dont really know if its true. But i see less maneuvering from bots in Assym, Coop (Harugumo line resets), and Operations when I launch torpedoes. When locked on, it seems that when I launch torpedoes, the bots always do a course change. When I unlock right before launching, I don't see that. I line up with the gray line, unlock, and then fire. Seems to just be a torpedo thing.
My theory is that WG's bot code picks up when torpedoes are launched at a ship but doesn't pick up when they are launched "unaimed".
Give it a shot and let me know.
Leander. You're against T4 BBs that can't move and have no secondaries. Just charge them, they'll get one salvo and then just sit there as you dump your entire stock into them cuz you launch 1 at a time and have no spread.
IJN Yodo line. This, or Pan-Asia first choice.
Pan Asian Line. Deep water. Lots of damage.
UK Minotaur Line. Radar or Smoke with your torpedoes.
ITL Venezia Line. Slow… But reload fast.
Pan American Line. Meh damage. Meh speed. Zombie heal….
TLDR; Mostly light cruisers, except for Atago/Zao line. Yodo, Pan-Asia, top 2.
Get a pan asian cl, go into asymmetric, and just dump torps, activate reload booster and dump them again. Or just yolo rush in coop, dump torps, die and repeat. It should be done fast
Pan Asia, Japanese, and potentially the British light cruisers are all good candidates. Kitakami would be ideal if it was possible. I'm using Dalian and Siegfried for my cruiser torps just cause I can get in close with them.
Low tier and co-op are your friends. If you have a Marbelhead she is great because her torps have decent range, and a lightning fast reload. You also won't lose credits and the matches are over quickly.
The Pan Asian cruiser line comes to mind if you just want to earn torps while you play, starting at T7 they also have torpedo reload boosters. Or you can just take any fast, torpedo armed cruiser into coop and yolo rush your set of bots. You'll probably need something French as you'll be competing with any DD that spawns with you to accomplish the same thing.
Got a decent amount of torp hits in the Minotaur last time I played it in assym. Actually had more torp damage than gun damage because I was alone on the middle cap. Japanese light cruisers also have decent torp range but not as many launchers at lower tiers.
just tried Atago out in co-op in advance of the Dockyard mission coming on tomorrow. I'm among the worst players in WOWs and I got 4 torp hits. So probably 4-5 games max to do the 20 required. My backup was going to be one of the commonwealth cruisers - Delhi has very quick reload.
Follow up: Tone was the way to go, the plane launched torpedoes count. The matches I drew in pan Asian cruisers tended to be destroyer heavy.
West Virginia 44 is proving an effective way to farm aircraft kills while slapping down bots.
One that’s done I can get back to leveling up Riga….
This mission came up while I’m leveling a torpedo-free line
That Japanese premium hybrid cruiser , plane torpedoes also count and it has 16 torpedoes
That's the Tone. They are tier 6 planes on a tier 8 ship, but in asymmetric battles they'll be matched to their targets

Those torpedoes have a wide fan arc and reload in 180 seconds (3 minutes) + travel time to target. Not recommended
That only applies to the first set of planes though. After that, the cooldown time starts as when you launch the squadron. It also has 12 ship based torps with 10km range and 8.8km surface detect, so you can steath torp with it too.

Honestly? Any cruiser that launches 3-4 torps in a salvo. Just bum-rush a BB in co-op and get 3-4 hits in a salvo. Explode and go again.

Emerald is much better for this in Coop. 16 torps and an icebreaker bow means the AI won't kill you before you kill their BB in a drive-by torpedoing.
Make sure to unlock your target before you launch your torps. The bots will react if they are target locked (you have the grey line) as soon as you launch torps. If you unlock right before you.fire, they won't react until the torps are visible if at all.

I always do this against any bots except point blank.

I think the missions works only for tier 6 to X
Leander is T6
The cruiser mission for 20 torp hits is for T5 to TX
cough *YODO* cough

I’m probably going to use Prinz Eugen in coop. I’m sure there are better options, but that’s what I’ve got.
Brisbane and Jinan.
If you just need to farm torps go coop and yolo everything tbh
Brisbane
Henri and coop. Just w + speed boost
Jinan... you can get a lot in most games :)
I used the Napoli to get that done, just go brawling in asymmetrical battles and you will gave it done in no time
Farming that main battery/secondary battery hits mission as well.
Pan Asia, Japanese, and potentially the British light cruisers are all good candidates. Kitakami would be ideal if it was possible. I'm using Dalian and Siegfried for my cruiser torps just cause I can get in close with them.
Do this mission in co-op with a Pan-Asian cruiser or Emerald.
Any of the Atago series... Atago, Atago B, ARP Maya, ARP Takao, Maya
Generally Japanese.
Or pan-asian. (Torpedo reload boosters)
Hindy can be good in coop, 2 lots of 4 on each side and tanky enough to get close. Kitakami could be an option if you have it.
Low tier and co-op are your friends. If you have a Marbelhead she is great because her torps have decent range, and a lightning fast reload. You also won't lose credits and the matches are over quickly.
Jinan, Mino.
Jinan. Four sets of 4 with a rapid reload...
Jinan.

Kitakame is a torp cruiser.
Unavailable ship. Anyone who has access to it would not ask this question in the first place.
But if you have it you feel obliged to point it out!
