Default Re: Torpedo Problems?

Quote:
Q: 'My Torpedo glanced off the ship but didn't blow'

A: You should have used a magnetic pistol, your angle of attack was too small or too large ( 60/120 degrees, remember? ) Also this can be caused due to duds
You should also mention about minimum distance from the target.

Q: 'My Torp went under the ship, but didn't go off'

A: Either this was caused because the run depth was too deep, the ship hit a wave and the torp went under it or alternatively the torp pistol malfunctioned, this was said to be more regular in the northern regions.
"Have you checked if the piston was set to 'Magnetic'?"
Darn, happened to me a few times. Perfect shot, two torps right under the keel and... oh well, it's not worth mentioning.

Q: 'My crew is in the torpedo bays but they aren't loading'

A: Check the green bar at the top of the torpedo bays, if its less than about 25% you'l need more manpower, may i suggest that you have a torpedo officer. Another reason may be that you are still rigged for silent running, many a captain have been caught out with silent running, dont become another statistic.
Theres also possibility, that "Auto Reload" field is unchecked.
