I only buy this weapon if I see enemy buying an iron hull or second weapon. Otherwise it is a waste of money.
Enemy tanks will not be able to constantly farm against a decent torp user as 1 - 2 hits will either force them either stay further behind the creep line or go heal at a cp thereby losing gold and exp. Also the chances of hitting the enemy aren't as low as you think as you're only protected by the creeps that are between you and the torp user, not behind. This also brings me back to the first point that your doing significant damage based on chance and nothing else. If a torps are fired in your direction they might hit creeps, in which case some may die and you lose cover in the process or they might hit you. In both cases you are forced to retreat because either a large portion of your creep cover just got annilated or you just took 650- 1300 damage. And let's not forget that this occurs at 1300 probably before you even get near your creep wave. You might also want to consider that more experienced torp users will probably have gone airship in which case one shocker and plasma rain will have obliterated whatever creep cover you have left leaving you with no creep cover, roughly 1300 less hp, and with another 1300 per 3.33 seconds depending on how long it takes you to return to cp.
