Keep this in mind... Torpedoes are a 2 dimensional weapon, they can hit anywhere between point A(armed) and point B(expired). On top of this, they have a very large highly damaging blast radius, and can kill most smaller ships in 2 hits.
Cannons, on the other hand, are a 3 dimensional weapon. You have to set the inclination, angle, convergence, and they only hit 1 single point with very little splash damage. People who block shot a zigzagging FF01 half way across the map are either incredibly skillful or damn lucky. People who torp a frigate with their sub, eh, really not that hard.
Look at me, I have no skill, and I still managed to sink 5 ships with a SS2. I can never do that in a GB with a CA
