Salvo Attack

ralphnader23 · 06-29-10, 11:40 AM

Does anyone ever use the salvo setting in the TDC in GWX? I'm guessing it just fires all the selected tubes at the exact same time, but with each torpedo keeping it's settings?

I fire salvos all the time, usually 2 at a time.

The torpedoes do not fire simultaneously, but rather one after another.

All torpedoes will have the same settings (depth, fuse, speed), except for course, which is determined by the spread angle setting.

I never use it, bad tonnage/torpedo ratio.

Hardly ever.
Prefer to shoot my eels individually.

I find individual firing much more 'personal, but if you prefer the salvo be sure to make your adjustments to each eel individually before commencing the firing sequence.

I don't use it because in real life they were fired a minimum of eight seconds apart. If the game did that, I would use it.
