The Great Torpedo Pistol Debate

TheDudTorpedo · 07-14-08, 04:57 AM

Hello again All,

Well, I have been well and truly seduced by SH3 - what a marvelous game! Currently I am experimenting with different depth settings on my torpedo's depending on the drafts of the various ships encountered, and am having a satisfying amount of success. This leads me on to my question:

Which pistol setting in general is considered more reliable, in terms of damage delivered?

I've given this some thought, and am inclined to go with a 'Magnetic' setting as I still stand a chance of damage or a kill when the AOA is not as perpendicular to the target course as with an 'Impact' setting.

Would anyone like to offer comment? Im interested in both the modelled aspect of the game, as well as in reality (or at least the reality of the 1940's).

Thanks,
TDT
