Torpedo trails - where are they?

[briny_norman]

I've yet to see any of my Mark 14 torpedoes leave a visible trail when traveling towards an enemy, like they were 'famous' for.
Is torpedo trails in the game as a feature at all?
Perhaps it depends on your graphic settings...?
If it's just missing, I suppose I could start working on a graphic mod to put them in.

I see mine. They are faint but they are there.

[MadMike]

Maybe it's the sealife cloaking that's absorbing the bubble trail...

The wakes are there all right, just that they are so short ones. Nvdrifter released a great "longer torpedo wake" mod for sh3 GWX, that would be nice to have here too. And the same for the ship wakes too (he fixed them also).

[gnirtS]

Dont see any here but have graphics turned down as low as possible to make it playable.

[Immacolata]

I see wakes, but they are very short and subtle. If I lose track of them it is rare I managed to free-float camera back to them again.

The wakes are there, but they could be made longer.

[Von Manteuffel]

Yup, they're definitely there. I've watched them run astern of many a target despite a "perfect" TDC solution :damn::damn::damn:

The wakes are there. Perhaps your particle density needs to go up some. Also, the God's eye view I can not see them. I have to zoom in on them.

I am currently working on an SH4 mod for longer and brighter torpedo wakes. Keep a lookout in the SH4 modder's forum for a future release. :arrgh!:

Behind the torpedo maybe?:doh:

Good, I did hope my question would spark some witty replies ;)

And, of course, I hoped it would spark the reply nvDrifter gave me.
Sounds great that you're working on this mod - I'll be the first to download!

I had this happen too. The TDC was spot on. Seems the torpedo ran through a school of jelly fish that slowed the torp just enough to give time for the ship to steam ahead of it's intended contact point.

:ahoy:
