Style of play: I don't like to put underwater torpedo tubes on my capital ships because they tend to be rarely fired and frequently explode with catastrophic consequences. On the other hand, if I remove them completely, then that ship doesn't have a torpedo range circle on the tactical map. This circle is very important to me in a battle, because it gives me a rough idea of when enemy combatants are close enough to pose a torpedo threat. (I realize that the range circle is for my torpedo tech, not the enemies, but they tend to be within 10-20% of each other.) To solve this, I put a single after underwater tube on such ships, so I can get the circle back. It would be nice if here were a way for me to see the circle anyway, even for ships that don't have torpedoes. I understand if y'all don't want to encourage a "torpedoless B" doctrine for historical reasons, but it would be nice John

I'll disagree on this one - I find it to be a useful marker of which of my designs have torps and which don't. And you can always use the circles on your escort DDs as a rough guide - the nominal ranges aren't nearly the same as the effective ranges, so it'll only ever be rough anyway.

Actually, the "if there was a way for me to" was intended as a request for an option. That being said, I can also see the devs not wanting to clutter up even the options interface....

Why not just have 3 states that the show torpedo range button can be toggled into?
- Show torpedo range on own ships - Show torpedo range on own and enemy ships ( best guess intel ) - Don't show torpedo range
