Had to share this.

I was tasked to photograph a harbour. I located a Japanese minisub so fired off a torp at it.

Wow - instead of holing and sinking the thing bounced a couple of hundred feet in the air, landed and continued to bounce up and down. It was the funniest thing.

I'm off to find another one on my next patrol and will supply some screenies.

Clearly the water physics model has its limits! Anyone else seen behaviour like this?

i saw one "floating" on a transport once...but I sank that ship so it now rests in the Hands of Davy JOnes.

Yeah, I remember something similiar happening in the Torpedo Attack tutorial with the Mogami Cruiser. I was practicing my manual targeting on the Mogami Cruiser and after sinking her I decided to look for other targets. Anyway, I saw a fishing boat in the distance and decided to take a shot at her. I manually set everything up as usually and fired two torpedoes at her. The first torp hit directly in the centre and she flew in the air. It was hilarious, so much I couldn't stop laughing.. Now I wish I took a screenshot of it!:) The funniest thing was though, the other torp sailed straight through as the boat was in the air!

Welcome to the forums :up:

The mini sub is the Japanese uber invunerable vehicle.

I was going to say weapon but its really just eye candy ;)

But yes it is indestructable.
