Really ? That's interesting ! I though you can't hide torpedo (or UUV) launch at ANY circumstances. Can somebody please explain in full detail how in what situations TIW can be avoided ?

The TIW messages are now directly related to sonar contact with the weapon in question, so the messages are dependant on sonar detection of the torpedo or missile.

The tactical implications of this are that you can use the layer to hide your torpedoes, Molon Labe did this quite effectively in a MP game recently...

Cheers,
David

PS The TIW messages were corrected between 1.01 and 1.03, as in the earliest versions of DW, the TIW messages were basically anything goes...

That's going to be it. I once watched enemy hello thru scope as it was dropping fish on me. I got TIW even before the torpedo hit the water ! But that was stock or maybe 1.01.

Good to know this ! :up:
