T2 still wouldn't travel 5000-meters

True. In game they are not suppose to. Only the T-3 get the full range.
Old post:
did several testing of the early year model T2 electric torpedo.
This is also in the torpedo.zon file. The T2 SPEED is only 28 knots @ 3000m.
It is the old crappy cold torpedo T2 which gets replaced with the better later in the war T3 that is at 30 knots for 5000m.
Else, your shots will miss behind the ship. It is really only 28 knots for the early T2 electric.
Of course, unless they changed this in patch 1.4. Only the description (30 knots @ 1.8 km) was wrong. It was actually (28 knots @ 3000m) correct in game mechanics.
I need to check this again for 1.4b. I need to see if the torpedo.zon file was changed. Go shoot two torpedos (yes there is a lag between firing them in a salvo) T2 and T3, measure the distance and time for each.
You will see the T2 is only moving at 28 knots, and the T3 moves at 30 knots. This will cause a miss at medium distance 1500m for small targets...or not hit the spot you want for that One Torp Kill.
-----------------------------------Torpedo.sim
The T-2 is only 28kt @ 3000m in game patch 1.4
The better
T-3 is 30kt @ 5000m in game patch 1.4
I have tried to get this understood. The T-2 moves slower and is only 3000m range.

In reality the T-2 and T-3 were the same, T-3 just got a magnetic influence detector added.

In game, this is what they use. I seen all sorts of values for ranges for T-2 and T-3.[/quote]
