Got a serious problem

robj250 · 03-28-07, 01:19 PM

I have a River Destroyer coming at me and I am using G7es.

I keep firing at 800 metres. I have set the torpedoes at 1 metre and I have tried Impact and magnetic, but the torpedo does not hit the ship, WHY???

What am I doing wrong?

I thought these were acoustic torpedoes, in other words, head for sound.

Set the depth for 3m!

I suspect the torp is either bouncing off the hull or the DD is using foxer.

And use magnetic pistel?

I can also fire at 1000m.

What's a foxer?

Magnetic & less than 1000m.

Foxer (if I got the name right) was developed to 'put off' accoustic torps.

There is one torp in SH3 which is immune to foxer, although I can't recall the name now.

If you miss again with these settings I would try to loose the DD rather than sink him.

Okay, I'll give it a try. Thanks a bunch.

Rob if you want my opinion set the torpedoes to 1m, impact detonator and fast speed settings. I have the feeling that at 1000m the DD avoids the torpedo, so you need to either shoot at a closer distance (less than 800m) or set fast speed settings.

Good Luck mate
