Nice work Keltos .

Just one question (Correct me if I'm wrong here): The British only had 2 angle setting for their torpedos in WWII--Angle 0 or angle 90 (port or starboard). They were unable to set any angle in between which meant they were always working to get that 0 angle shot as the 90 degree angles weren't very reliable for them. So...do your torps and British subs reflect this added "challenge"? It'd be a great historical touch if they did (IMHO) :hmm: .

Keep up the Great Work!

unfortunately not yet, I could always work on lowering the turn angle possible in the .sim to achieve that though :hmm:

what you could always do is not use the automated fire control : just move the sub itself to send the torpedo where you think it will hit, and fire ! like in WWI :rotfl:


apart from that they work like British torpedoes, btw I noticed that the export version of their subs (i.e. the Class T submarine type 1) didn't have the same torpedoes, but I lack data here to properly mod a Dutch torpedo...

I can see how that info might be a little scarce . Thanks for answering and for your mods!
