Guys, what the hell?

[Kipparikalle]

I've come across 2 battlecruisers, I'm in a perfect position. Working save. Enought torpedoes to sink a damn fleet.

But when I fire ze torpedoes, no matter what pistols do they have, what depth, or how perfectly the hit was. They are all duds.

The last hour has been only quit/load party and even if I switch my frigging torpedoes they still are all duds.


I mean, c'mon! I don't even have the stupid sabotage mod on, and its july frigging 40'!
Annoying as hell.

I'm soon going to resort to cheating; returning to base. Quitting the game and changing the renown of this patrol, like I've had sunked those stupid ships

I've had some times where 3-4 in a row were duds. From reading books about the war, the actual captains suffered from the same problems especially early in the war.

As for impact not working, make sure you're attacking from approx 90 degree angle. If you're hitting at too much of an angle the impact trigger won't work. It'll just deflect off.

Ive had the same issue acouple of patrols ago, Anoying isnt it.:shifty:

Well every hit so far has been perfect 90 degree hits.

And I have tested my all torpedoes by shooting the front tubes emty to somewhere, loaded them. And then tried to destroy ze battlecruisers with them, only to come with same result

Put the torpedos at the shallowest debth you can.;)

Tried, I got SH3 running on a mirror. 1 detonated, all others dud. Didn't knock it out, but slowed it down to 20 tks

[Task Force]

At least one hit.;) It will be in port for a while.:yep:

[Murr44]

It would be nice if you received at least partial credit for damaging a vessel. It's odd that while you're penalized for incurring damage to your own boat, you receive nothing for damaging an enemy vessel. One of the things that I really dislike about the game...

[CCIP]

That's exactly what happened on at least two occasions in 1940! Both Warspite and Nelson escaped perfectly set-up attacks due to faulty triggers.

Great news guy, I tried it last time, and this time. The only elect. torpedo I had, it decidet "Well okay, but only this time" and hit the f*cker right in its ass. Blowing its screws to hell.

It sunk in a few seconds, strange

Yay ya sunk it.:up:

[Vacillator]

and its july frigging 40'!
Annoying as hell.


IRL that happened a lot, particularly during Weserubung (April - June 1940). Imagine how annoying it must have been in real life!

At least you got it in the end ;)

[Kipparikalle]

And more from the patrol, now as I got 4 DD's trying to lynch my sorry butt (that's right, butt), I decidet instead of being a mouse, to be awesome.

I dodget ze first DD', rised ze periscope, and let a fish go fill its destiny.

1 Down, 3 to go

As the first one was still busy being blown off by its own ammo magazines, ze other one was already coming at me at full speed. Basically a repeat from the first one:
Dodge, rise persicope, launch a eel with magnetic pistol.

Down he goes

Next!

Holy f*ck I'm being so badass that it hurts
And as I tried it for the last one, ze torpedo happens to be dud, so no hoocie-woochie to this one.

While being busy with loading ze torpedoes and dodging ze last, raged DD. I almost drived on a mine

Driving towards it in full speed, managed to dodge it in time

And in ze same time as I got my torpedo loaded, ze fate of ze last DD was clear.

But what's this? Incoming voice of an another warship coming towards my sub. From ze direction of the surviving cruiser.
Finds out that it was the last DD from the 5 brave ones (can't zey understand that zey have no chance against me?)

Oh well

Down he goes

"Alright gentlements, we're done here"
I said to myself (and to my virtual crew)
But suddenly! Another sound contact! Event camera shows flower corvette & torpedoboat, but it looks like zey seem to understand the wrath my überl33t skillz, and instead of bothering me, zey stop there to rescue survivors.

Its time to go home.

Oh come on! Now as I have wasted crapload of time uploading, and posting that last post of mine, you all just decidet to ignore me

Makes me feel so lonely...and ignored... ANGSTCUTWRISTS;;'((


If I could, I'd change the title of the thread

[kylania]

Most people at least in the US are at work right now and probably can't post. I'm in training class totally ignoring it and posting instead. Good pics. :P

[Kipparikalle]

Oh, ok
