i noticed a few occasions where a specific class of flower corvette was impervious to torpedoes - impact detonators - even if on a 90 degree impact would pass through the ship.
not sure how, when or if this was corrected.
but a question comes to mind... why waste a torpedo on a tiny warship worth very little tonnage and virtually no renown?
even in a defensive role?
they are easily evaded, relatively slow, have poor surface fire power, carry a limited number of depth charges and the list goes on.
its like going rabbit hunting with a 20mm chain gun.
that one wasted torpedo could make the difference between going home with 10,000 more tons or going home with nothing else other than to brag about how you "pwned" what amounts to an armed trawler worth less than 1,000 tons.
