Magnetic Detonation

[CaptJulius]

Sailors! Just wanna ask does Magnetic detonation settings on torpedoes work? Because i set torpedo depth ~1m under keel and they just slide over with none magnetic detonation effect?
So does Magnetic Detonation works in this game?

I am pretty sure the TDW patcher has this as a patch.

Yeah i was thinking too but i have TDW_GenericPatcher_v_1_0_149_0 and all Torpedoes fixes enabled, still magnetic detonators just slides under ship keels...

What ships are you aiming at? IIRC, TDW's torpedo patches fix the broken magnetic detonators against GR2 ships, but on the other hand they also mess up their ability to detonate against OH's dat ships, which were working correctly before the patch

gap. I have no idea which are GR2 ships and which are OH's dat ships, but as i said i havent any luck seeing Magnetic Detonators to work as they should, is there a specific settings for torpedoes to use with Magnetic detonators i just don't know.. just slides under the keel of merchants without any effect.

Take note of the ship name the next time you suffer a magnetic detonator failure. From that I should be able to tell you whether she was a GR2 or DAT unit.

Besides unit format, there are other factors which might affect various torpedo failures, including magnetic detonation failures. Have you enabled TDW's torpedo failure patch? What depth under the keel are you setting your torpedoes to?
