How do I use a torpedo when I'm flying a bomber campaign, do I have to get low on the deck?Or do I lead the target and drop from altitude? Help !?!

I'm not actually sure, i've done both though, I find it easy to do when high up (less flak). What I'd do is go in from the side, and put my bombsight where i'd anticipate the ship to be when the torpedo hit the water.

If you want to be more realisitic, do it on the deck, because in real life if you dropped it too high or too fast, it would run deep and just go under your target. But in CFS3, you can realease them from 6k and still hit stuff. Grin

As the convoys in CFS3 are very considerate and always come to a complete halt when under attack it's wise to do a pass first to get them to stop then you can use your torpedos at low level and never miss. Grin

Also, drop out of warp about ten miles out. Get down to deck level and do your run in with your squadron behind. As you get close and your squadron identifies the targets tell them all to engage and continue your run in. At the correct range your squadron will make their attacks sinking all but one of the convoy. Then you can come back round and take him out.
