Torpedo was a dud sir

[fullmetaledges]

I actually for the first time since i got the game had a torpedo hit the target and bounce off and my soundman said "Torpedo was a dud sir" I was shocked, not that I had a dud but that the soundman said that. Anyone else have that happen?

[SteamWake]

Ill raise you one dud and 40 "torpedoe missed".

No actually I have not heard this.

[NefariousKoel]

I've had it happen at least twice that I recall. :up:

2 dud impacts on same ship with one miss!

[Hylander_1314]

I hear it quite often, when the shots are close to 90 degrees. The best is a 45 to 70 degree angle impact.

[Lawndart]

Sometimes I get that when there is a a premature detination.

I heard that once after I thought I saw an impact... it damaged the ship but no holes.

I always get the "Torepdo Impact" when my torpedoes expload in the middle of the water.... must of hit a Whale or Bernard...

Iv seen the torpedo bumb into the target and the call out "Torpedo was a dud sir", so you are not alone ;)

Iv only seen it once though:ping:

[jdski]

I don't think I've had one torp not be a dud if I set it to high speed.

[AVGWarhawk]

I had this once also. Kind of cool:rock:

Yea, I always thought so to, but they just chug along as if nothing had ever happened.

[Ping Jockey]

3 times so far and I was out of torps too.:nope:

[Cakewalk]

I've heard it once. Grrr... dud torps... rrr....

[Ostfriese]

3 duds, 11 early detonations out of 14 torpedoes fired at a convoy. Man, I was pi***d. :doh:

[tycho102]

I went my first patrol without a single dud. Starting around my third patrol, I began getting several per patrol.

Until late 1943, make sure you're hitting the boat at an acute angle. Don't ever hit perpendicular, and if you do have to take a perpendicular shot, make sure it's set really deep to hit toward bottom of the keel.
