Torpedo Detonator is Broken

[ottos]

Hello captains,

Firstly, please forgive me if this issue is not suit for this forum.

I have confidence about the issue that SH5's Torpedo Detonator is broken.
So, I have contacted UBI's tech support during about a month, but their final answer is
"Unfortunately we have no further information on the issues. Another patch is due out for the game but we do not have an ETA. I'd suggest posting the feedback on our forums." ┐(ﾟ_ﾟ)┌

Then, could you try examine attached file and report your result?

These two files change G7a T-I torpedo's pistol value, angle(0-90) and dud chance (99.9, 0.1).

Logically, One should explode 99.9%, and Another should make dud 99.9% with any kind of hitting angle.( with pistol detonator )

I guess this issue affect mag detonator too. (cf.http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=166310)

Can you see torpedo dud?

p.s.
I sent this attached file to UBI, long time ago....

////edit/////
In order to simplify a comlicated story,
Please focus on only MALFUNCTION of DIRECT CONTACT with pistol detonator in this thread.
and please except cases about premature explosion and mag detonator's malfunction and so on.
thank you for your cooperate.

p.s.
I add the very simple SingleMission file, so please try it and report it..

I haven't seen any dud until now in game, and I haven't upgraded the torpedo officer to lower the dud chance at all.

Duds seem to be broken.. same with the mag detonator in general. I even tried to change the dud chance ability so that it gave me a 1000% chance of a dud and still no dud :rotfl2:

Oh, god, never ask Tech Support anything. They are utterly clueless. Just a bunch of minimum wage drones that read from scripts and don't even play the game much less understand or know anything about development of it.

The devs have confirmed they are looking into this issue (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=1344563&postcount=24). So hopefully we'll get a fix sometime. :)

duds work, they either detonate prematurely, or sink before impact.

I have had magnetic detonators fail when I set my depth too close to the bottom of the target. Why would that be?

Well take a look at the issues there were with ALL torpedoes. When set at the CORRECT depth, they were found to run deeper.

When the setting was 1 or so meters shallower than the depth of the keel, the correct depth was actually set.

The torpedo would make its run, pass beneath the target, have its proximity detector tripped and WHAMO!!! One broken ship's keel.

This is how it is in the sim as well.

So, this is in fact an accuracy.

[kylania]

The problem is that's not always happening. You'll have a mag det torpedo pass 1m below the keel and it just sails on past. People have even seen torpedoes pass THROUGH a ship and not detonate. :O:

Like others have already said, it's a known issue. Nothing we can do about it at the moment.
