Howdy Hunterbear,

The reason that you get that report is becase of the way the game works when it comes to reporting a hit when using the Magnetic Impact pistol setting. Let's say you set your torp for Magnetic and for a little bit under the draft of the ship, 0.5-.06m under is usually a sure hit, in calm seas anyway. What happens is the torp goes off without actually making contact with the hull of your target ship. That's when you get the 'Torpedo missed' message.

In my eyes, you should get a 'Torpedo Impact!' and 'Yeah!' response because the torp achieved it's intended goal, but because of the way the game engine works it reports a miss since the torp never actually made contact with the hull.

Just thought I'd let you know why you get that message.

Cheerio,

OneTinSoldier
