Homing Torpedo efficiency
Posted by: Krzysztof Zietkiewicz ()

I\'m looking for some information about results of Falke and Zaunkonig torpedos use. What I especially would like to know is number of hits, number of torpedos fired and number of attacks in which they were used. If there is any source on this questions, please let me know.
I was wondering also, how effective the \"Foxer\" decoy was. I\'ve read somewhere that this device had bad influence on ASDIC work. This is rather obvious, as the idea was to make noise, but maybe you can tell me something more specific about it (also about Foxer construction, and number of decoys carried by escort ships).
Regards. K.Z.
