My question is...how the hell can they tell? I nver know where the torpedos are as I cant hear anything over the sound of me running for the hills.

Is there a trick to this? Is it really possible in the real world?

Is it just a fault of the game system?

Just wondering

Dear cj95,

I'm pretty sure you can determine by the ping, because if the torpedo is active, atleast with experience you can tell the distance by the ping intervals.
You can probably even have them marked accurately on sonar aswell, i don't remember.
