So I am enjoying TWOS very much. And I have been sinking many merchants. However it seems every time I attack a British warship, even at close range, at 90 degree angle, it appears to see my torpedo moments before impact and almost seems to miraculously jump or increase its speed by what seems an unreasonable velocity, thereby dodging my torpedoes.

I have tried to kill a warship at least 10 times now and every time this happens.

I am evading their asdic when they spot me and come after me so haven't been caught by them yet but I am wondering if this ability of their warships to spot torpedoes every time is realistic?

is this normal in TWOS mod? It´s making me prone to leave warships alone and just stick to merchants.

Hi Coldcall
Put your TWOS problems on the TWOS thread rather than here.
Just go to the last page.

I think that you are still "fresh" in TWoS and yes, warships can be killed and they wont spot your torpedoes every time. This depends of many factors, like time of the day, crew skill, sea state ect...
Also ships acceleration whit TWoS shouldn't be so obvious IF you have properly enabled the mod and TDW generic patcher (RPM inertia patches).

That been said, just like in real life, torpedo attack on destroyers will most of the time end without success due to your target speed, shallow draft, trained military watchmen ect...

Primary U-Boat targets were merchants and with a good reasons. You have discovered some of them...

Okay at least i know why destroyers seem so hard to hit. Yes i think each time its been a daylight attack. As far as I am aware I have installed everything correctly as per the instructions on the TWOS installation guidelines, inc the generic patcher and the 43 clicks :-)

Okay will keep my questions to the TWOS thread form now on. Thanks.
