Flak & magnetic detonator

[charognard]

Hey all, Do the magnetic detonator run in SH5 ? I have tryed many torpedo launch with 1m under boat, but my torpedo never explosed !!!

Same for the flak, i tell my crew go on flak, but they never open fire on plane...

Someone can help me plz ?

Magnetic detonators seem to have problems. I must have fired a hundred torps with impact detonators and even when striking at really wonky angles I've never actually seen a dud yet. With the ~10 torps with magnetic detonators so far not a single one actually detonated, and all passed perfectly 0.5-1m underneath the target.

Same for me. Can't afford to waste Torps so I stick with 3m depth. Guess either the magnetic detonation is bugged or the failure rate/dud rate of them is...

in the beginning of the war even as late as the norwegencampame
there where torp problems read about it at www.uboat.net (http://www.uboat.net)
even the great uboat ace's had problems whith dud's and premature
detonations do to the cold water temp.

Have not encountered any duds yet but have experienced a couple of circle running tops ie you fire them at target a) in front of you but the torp turns left or right and just goes round in circles - I know the Yanks had this problem, in fact they lost one or two sub aces to it - they sank themselves - not sure if the Germans had the same issue

But was cheered to notice that I had a problem as up until this every shot hit home which as we all know is crap

i've had all of my mag-pistol torps fly straight under the keel to no effect except ONE which snapped a tanker neatly in two. :up:

if it wasn't for this one i'd write it off as a bug, but I'm guessing the 'dud rate' is just really high in the early war. hopefully it gets better or i'm going to be forced to stick to the semi-effective impact pistol. :nope:

I have had one torp hit a ship at a steep angle and it bounced off and then continued on another path...

I have had one mag torp detonate under the rear of a ship and it blew the back end of the ship clean off...

I have had another torp TII detonate early....

I shot a perfect salvo at the HMS Queen elizabeth, all 4 torps went under the ship, only around half a meter but none detonated. I thought that was the point of magnetic detonators? To add insult to injury, I got pwned by 8 destroyers. :shifty:
