Torpedo Fuel Remaining as % from activation?

GravityWave · 07-01-17, 03:08 PM

I've seen mentions of 'Fuel Remaining' as a % when at firing point procedures and lining up a shot. But, I don't see it anywhere. I'm OK with the TTR, but that's after release. Isn't there an estimate of fuel to get the activation point?

If you've been watching Jive Turkey's stream (as I have), he does make a "fuel remaining" estimation for the sake of realism and entertainment.

But that parameter is not (yet) included in the game.

Curious as to where you're going with this?

So you'll have a idea how much range you got left before launch without having to look it up in the unit reference. If Ok for US subs with just 3 types if torps but once you add the soviet sub mod or when they release allied sub, it would be handy to have that information in game.

I was hoping to get an estimate of how long the torp will run after activation, for chase duration feel. Though I've got a new awareness of leaving the scene of short range activation's and would like to know how far to back off if it misses the first time. Yes, I heard it mentioned by Jive Turkey, though I'm just starting the campaigns. I'm still reading through all the stuff up front. It sounded like a pretty useful thing. I was hoping it would show up as a crude estimate in the TTR field but didn't see it, so thought I'd ask. Thanks for the help. I suspect it will show up eventually. They set their priorities though. Good for them. Having a lot of fun.
