But what about the 36 torpedoes that all went "through" the target. It may be possible they were all faulty torps, but what are the odds of that?
Mabe refitting generates the fault, I don't know, but as is, it sucks.
I'm playing RFB with the stock torpedous sim file and it feels like cheating myself, but each and every torp would otherwise go through the target.
I don't know how to solve this. Last saterday I've reinstalled the whole game, I sure hope I don't have to do that again.
Don't get me wrong about moaning and bitching, Beery, I love this mod.

After 5 patrols from Pearl in USS Gato, I have not seen a torpedo failure rate anything like that. Seems like about 50% failure for me.
Every patrol I have come back with a ship or two sunk. I think I've ID'd maybe 5 or 10 torps that veered off (probably with another 5 or 10 that I didn't notice veering off). The majority of my bad fish explode early. The bad fish have been frustrating (as they very well should be), but nothing like the 100% failure rate you are getting. Perhaps it truly is just a spot of supreme bad luck. Or perhaps you should suspect sabotage:hmm: Everyone is a suspect  |
Read "Silent Victory" by Clay Blair Jr. You'd be amazed how poor the Mk14 actually performed.
I believe it was Blair that said,"had it not been for the poor performance of the Mk14, the invasion of the Dutch East Indies might not have succeeded."
American submarines encountered nearly every troop convoy/task force sent for the invasion, attacked a number of Japanese battleships and carriers, and came away with nothing. Talk about frustration!
Just imagine the high number of kills acheived after the problems were solved with the Mk14 and apply that to 1942. War would have been much, much different.
