excessive duds

ccruner13 · 04-19-08, 10:22 PM

so im on my way to my patrol destination and my course puts me right by freemantle so i take a peek and what do i find but two king georges and a fleet carrier so im cruising in and take out two dds with 3 homing torpedos. then the king george is basically lined up for me right where i am so i fire a torpedo...dud. another. dud. two more duds. so im like **** this and shoot at the fleet carrier and first one hits and explodes and it aalmost sinks so i shoot another boom and she makes the next 15 m to the bottom. so im like ok torps are working i go back to the king george i was first set on but move so my angle is different and im a little closer. dud. so this time i move in from about 1300 m to 700 m. dud. so this is getting ridiculous and i shoot one more for the other king george about 2000 meters away. dud. all my mods are sound and visual because i wanted to finish this campaign before starting over with gameplay mods. so this is a stock issue. ive had consecutive dud streaks before but not like this. anyone else have something this exceptional amount of duds...? its not like im using american torpedos the first week of the war here...its early 44 with the german torpedos.

i am not amused

I turn duds off. I hate duds, duds are very bad.

I'm on my first patrol in my IXD and was lucky enough to intercept a 5 ship unescorted convoy. I bagged the 11,000 plus tanker but had two duds in the process. After I got it I surfaced, as the crew was reloading the torpedos, and decked gunned the other 4 smaller merchants. In this case the duds merley meant I had to use more deck gun ammo to sink the convoy.

American torpedoes > German torpedoes
