sonar torpedoes suck

[lordofdoom]

1. They suck because they can hit you or your mate.
2. They are very slow.
3. They get confused by explosions.
4. They also get confsed when you targeting a slow merchant and a faster boat passes by.

[convoy hunter]

you are not right the can much easier destroy an enemy ship.!!!!

[Jimbuna]

Early technology....much in need of further development but still deadly if conditions are favourable.

One alternative would be to wait for the advancement to wire guidance systems :DL

They can hit the enemy as likely as your mate.

[convoy hunter]

They can hit the enemy as likely as your mate.
not if you are careful

[lordofdoom]

You have done it twice to me.

[convoy hunter]

You have done it twice to me.I was targeting a merchant and you were at flank speed.

[lordofdoom]

thats why they suck.

[convoy hunter]

I told you to chill your engines but you did it when the torpedo was 5 meters away from you.

[lordofdoom]

When you told me that when it was 5 meters away.

[convoy hunter]

When you told me that when it was 5 meters away.
I told you that by the time I saw that it was coming at you. and you could launch a decoy.

[convoy hunter]

and go at greater depth than 25 meters.

[lordofdoom]

I did crash dive.

[convoy hunter]

I did crash dive.
from the surface

[lordofdoom]

from the surface
from the periscope depth.

[convoy hunter]

from the periscope depth.
:nope:alright

[lordofdoom]

to sum up they suck.

[convoy hunter]

they are 50 - 50

[STEED]

They were a load of rubbish in the war, the Allies soon found away to to stop them by towing decoys which they homed in on.

Not much use in the game unless you wage war on the escorts with them.

Biggest problem with the ells is range, when in 1943 on wards you want to be a long way to stand a chance but no.

i think that sonar torpedoes are good but if you go at his way goodbye world:yeah:

thats why I always fire a torpedo at bearing 000 and always a ship is in my way so...

you are right:rock:

if you do not know how to use it how you can say that are good and you are a bit rude

he can't just see the easiness of using these torpedoes.

[convoy hunter]

after all he prefers deck gun

[Herr-Berbunch]

Now, now ladies!

I saw this thread had 25 replies and thought it must be good - didn't realise it was handbags at dawn otherwise I'd stay away!:timeout:

[Mittelwaechter]

Firing a Mac-10 at a tank makes it look like it sucks.

The sonar torpedos rock in the hands of a gifted kaleun.

[Alpha Von Burg]

Just as many of the sea wolves said, the sonar torps arn't as bad once you know how to work them...

[maillemaker]

I only had a few of those sonar torps, but I found them great for shooting escorts.

lordofdoom has no idea how to work sonar torpedoes. once he got himself killed by his own torpedo:haha:

Thats a lie.You have killed your teammate several times with a sonar torpedo.

The range of ells are in fact,the main prob. but to avoid the enemy unit you stay an watch from safe distance or dive...:lurk:

[Alpha Von Burg]

Thats a lie.You have killed your teammate several times with a sonar torpedo.

Only if you fire one when you know a friendly ship is around, or at least you have recognised a friendly ship for an enemy.

But if you meant that you were attacking enemy ships with friendly ships around I think you should have known that you should have not to used the sonar torps, otherwise, if there are no friendly ships about, a sonar torp is not a bad idea...

[convoy hunter]

you mean when you were in front of me. and you have been killed by your torpedo.:haha:

[HundertzehnGustav]

oh come on now guys...

what about PMs?
this aint no good in a public section...
one slapping the other. the other slapping at the one.

:nope:

sorry

No I mean that you aim a ship 900 metres away from me.But the torpedo hit me.Thats why they suck,they never hit the target that you want.

[HundertzehnGustav]

they suck IF you ignore the rules to use them.

shoot, silent running, sink to 50 meters.

Both of you.

once the fish leaves the tube it is DESIGNED to behave the way it behaves - running wild; striking the first target it hears.

Torpedo fail?

no! the torpedo works the way it is meant to work.

Kaleun fail?

yes! a free running turning torpedo in the water should make you go silent and sink.

That is the way you have been taught at naval warfare school. if you kick each other in the ass, dont come whining then!

Both of you had a communications and/ or weapon usage problem.

[Bronzewing]

The early ones are a bit iffy, but they have their uses. I'd not want to load up a lot of them, but I like to have a couple in my stern tubes to keep over inquisitive escorts away. and yeah, if I want to stay and watch I stop the motors so I don't get a "return to sender".

[Svendog]

If they've got them in base, I like to load all my aft tubes and reserves with Falke's. Great for nailing destroyers. I even had one bounce off the stern of a C class then, instead of just sinking, it picked itself up and continued to hunt its prey eventually caching it again and blowing off one of her props. :rock:

[Bronzewing]

I like to use an IX, so I'll use one stern tube for homing eels, and keep the other one with regular for when a merchant happens to show up behind me so I don't have to turn round.

In case you didn't know I am able to use sonar torps without a problem. That is not my fault.

[Snestorm]

The real ones only had a 30% success rate.

Where lucky,more and less!

Ours work a-bit better than theirs did.
No complaints from me.
