Welcome aboard smudje1000

I find the best thing to do with homing torps is to launch the straight at the escort (down the throat) or with a slight offset. If there is a couple heading toward you, just lauch in the general directon and try to use the confusion to get away!

Still perfecting these babies. I don't get a lot of time to play and most of that's largely done at 1xTC when in hydrophone range of anything. Down the throat from close range seems to be working nicely at the moment though.

the XXI seems to have such sweet hydrodynamics that even when you kill the motors from flank to slow you maintian a good enough speed to get deep quite fast.

I love this boat!!!
