i have torps on my brook, and now on my cleveland.
4 torp launchers = 4x128 lbs = roughly 500 lbs for torps, so I lose about .5" of armor. But if I shoot off a wave I'm guaranteed to kill 2-3 DDs. Thats roughly 15K expereince right away and 1000 credits.
To get 15K damage with a 6" guns coutning that only 3/4 of your ammo hit, you'd need about 5-6 salvos, during those salvos those DDs htat would otherwise be dead would be pounding you with 4/5 or 6" guns. Making you lose about 3000-4000 health.
So in my opinoin having torps and using them wisely is better than having slighly more amor.
Because since DDs carry torps also, you might not get off that 3rd shot because some noob got lucky with his torps, but if you do the wave you'll get your 1000 credits so even if you die you'll still make money
