[REQ] Firing torpedoes at an angle (25°) for external tubes on the Narwhal

so they'll fire straight no matter what ?

I believe so. The model of the tubes like I said previously are canted outwards 7º. I learned that the Torpedo Tube Muzzle Door determines where the torpedo is launched from, or so it seems. I haven't revisited this for some time now though. This could be a reason why the Narwhal was not put into the game. Also none of the surface ships fire torpedoes even though they have the launchers modeled. Could be a problem the dev team didn't have time to work on.

You are a sub driver in RL ? I very nearly signed on in the Navy when I was in High School in Pittsburg CA ..

Was. I started out as a Seaman driving the boat. Then I made Radioman and manned the ESM stack with a little bit of time spent learning the radio room too. Good times had by all!

Nope, that was way before my time. I joined the boat for her first patrol in the Pacific In Jan 03. If i remember correctly though the San Juan incident happen when KY was coming back from her sea trials. And just like a trophy wife all her problems were on the inside lol.

EDIT: Looked up the collision info, wth was a Trident doing up by Long Island in 98???
