Flak & magnetic detonator

sideways · 03-08-10, 02:52 AM

i've had all of my mag-pistol torps fly straight under the keel to no effect except ONE which snapped a tanker neatly in two.

if it wasn't for this one i'd write it off as a bug, but I'm guessing the 'dud rate' is just really high in the early war. hopefully it gets better or i'm going to be forced to stick to the semi-effective impact pistol.

I have had one torp hit a ship at a steep angle and it bounced off and then continued on another path...

I have had one mag torp detonate under the rear of a ship and it blew the back end of the ship clean off...

I have had another torp TII detonate early....

I shot a perfect salvo at the HMS Queen elizabeth, all 4 torps went under the ship, only around half a meter but none detonated. I thought that was the point of magnetic detonators? To add insult to injury, I got pwned by 8 destroyers.
