EDIT.
Just now saw that you don't know what pistols are. Pistol is located at the front of the torpedo. It is it's nose. Now there are 2 types of them- impact and magnetic. Impact only work properly when they hit the ship physically and at a good angle. Magnetics on the other hand explode when they are close to a ship. When a magnetic is close to metal witchcraft happens and they explode a bit sooner before hitting the ship. Very useful for sending your torpedoes just a meter under the ship so they sense it and explode beneath it causing severe flooding, disastrous damage and even splitting the ship in two if you're lucky and hit a good spot. Hope that cleared it up a little. You can switch them in the F6 view on the top right corner IIRC. If anything else just ask. |
thanks mate its really clear just 1 more question can i use that magnetic pistol also with auto target?
cheers
