Wow...how did you train your eel to do that? Or was it just simple physics?

Once i hit that way a ship sideways and the Eel was shot down towards the bottom :)

seen this happen a few times in stock and GWX... it hits the prop area and bounces back and re-tracks the target and continues to repeat the process until it either runs out of steam or it detonates... impact or magnetic triggers seem to make no difference in the prop bounce off activity.

its kinda cool.... untill the torpedo fails to impact and sinks to the bottom, not so cool then

if it was a solid 90 degree impact as Bulsoldier stated and it just bounced off and sank it had to be a dud.

Well it hit the proppeler actually and was really jetisoned down,fast :). Could be dud too since sometimes torps hited this area and managed to detonate.

LOL!!! I especially liked the boring "YES!!!" exclamation by the crewman.

<pssst... for those using GWX... set your spoken language to 'German' with English subtitles... and life is a bit more exciting!>

Obviously this is the earliest known example of how the idea for a homing torpedo cams into being :p

As said earlier by the Kpt......the game immersion is much more intense when you choose spoken German for the voices :arrgh!:

I've had several of these fellas, and had up to 6 "bounces" before detonation. Makes for an interesting attack.

*Meanwhile... inside the cargo hold of the freighter... a poker game is being set up amongst some crewmembers with some free time*

"Hey ? Is someone knocking on the door ? I didn't think it was locked. I'll go check..." *BOOM !!!*:dead:
