Dud Torps

Red Devil · 01-31-14, 05:25 AM

Getting seriously annoyed with the dud torpedos setting. I can get into position to hit a convoy/task force and have 5 out of six explode prematurely; rerun the scenario and have none, then 1 -3 torps detonate.

This sim is suffering greatly from Premature Detonation and I want to know how to imobilise ALL dud torps and to hell with historical accuracy?

OK? Help? Running RSRDCv502 with patch but it does it in stock too.

Just click the box in the game options area marked, "No Dud Torpedoes" when you begin a patrol or career.
Should solve the problem.

Yes, but British WW II torpedoes actually worked from day one.

The venerable Mark VIII wasn't retired until 1983.

I always found it one of those strange dichotomies of WWII, that the two nations that were the most successful with their respective submarine fleets, (Germany and the US) started the war with dysfunctional torpedoes.

That's odd. The only time I've ever been assigned the Celebes Sea, is when my boat was based in the land Down Under.

I had just been given a new boat, (drum) I was out of Fremantle and got transfered to Pearl, but the assignment stayed the same as if I was in Freemantle. I have had to abandon quite a few missions in the past in stock SH4 due to fuel shortages and nowhere (in the early months) to refuel.
