Okey I'll keep that in mind. The 360 torpedo really puzzled me. Because I fired two torpedoes. The second went according to the firing solution but the first one... gone berserk. After firing them i switched to external view and wondered why the the torpedo turned hard starboard right after it left the tube and after watching it a few seconds I realised that it WILL hit me but it was a bit too late to try and avoid it.

I also found a post after reading through 3 pages of threads. The post was by DrBreast and according to him for a visual damage effect to appear the damage you do must surpass the ships armor rating (?). So if you shoot a gun with 10 damage and you have 25 armor rating you won't see any visual damage BUT you do take damage. But it's not visible. Is this what's happening with the 3"50 vs. 4"50 deck guns? The 4"50 just has that little bit bigger punch to make them lovely holes in the hull of ships that it's capable of penetrating? And do the AP and HE shells have different damage ratings (?) or radius or something like that? The HE does damage to a bigger radius and the AP has more damage just in the point the shell hits?

Me wants 18" deck gun! Would probably rip the gun off the deck after firing.
