Thank you!

WOW ... and I mean WOW

Did you really do it? Amazing!

Can you further explain how it works? I know what Racerboy and Sergbuto did to make the Ai torpedoes, but how does your mod work? Does the game really know it is launching torpedoes, or is it tricked to believe it is shooting shells or other things?

It's a modified cannon shooting a dummy shell.
The trick is that I used the gunpowder cloud effect (the nice fire/smoke you see coming out of the barrel right after you shoot) to spawn a torpedo. This torpedo then heads into the direction the barrel pointed at. Unfortunately also the barrels elevation angle is copied by the torpedo. This is what causes the occasional deep/shallow running. Luckily within certain boundaries the torpedo can correct this, so I've set the max elevation angle of the gun to only 1 degree.

This mod certainly isn't perfect but it's a lot better than nothing.

WAOW !

Awesome, and I don't use that word often

[edit] with appropriate credits given, do you allow us to use it in the Japanese Campaign mod ?

Neat! I've always wanted this, midget subs in particular seemed useless without this. Now maybe approaching Japanese home waters on the surface near a port will be a little more dangerous...I hope this gets integrated into TMO 1.8 somehow.

Any chance of you releasing a pack of torpedo-armed ships?

not ATM. I'm too busy modding other things now. But I'm sure TSWSM will include some.
If someone else wants to add torpedoes to ships/subs, please go ahead, feel free to release them.

Impressive work.

OK - how does this sound .... modify the traverse tolerance in the torp launchers .sim file to 10 degrees ? This should give such variance in the torps being launched in the actual direction the AI intends, that there is a chance some torps will lead the target correctly ?
