Torps going too deep?

joejccva · 09-01-09, 12:52 AM

I'm doing one of the training missions where I have to sink Parker's Tincan. For whatever reason my torps are perfectly aimed but they are going just underneath him and not detonating. Any reason why?

I've set torpedo depth all the way down to nothing and they still go under him.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Don't think you are doing anything wrong.
The MK.14 runs deep by about 12 feet, Try loading up some MK.10's and see if that works. I haven't done this mission yet so don't know if the MK.10 is available.

Wow it would definately help if I read some of this history. Glad to know I wasn't messing something up. I was wondering why it would always run deep. lol

Thanks guys.
