NYGM Feature revisited #5

[Trollus]

Will dud torpedoes appear during the entire war? I know I may be difficult to do, but since new version of magnetic pistol appeared, number of duds was decreased. Also (i'm not sure) Gunter Hassler discovered torpedo's depth problems, which has been fixed (?)

These are the torpedo pistols used in SHIII. The failure rate is based upon sea state. Which works well fo our principle even if not 100% correct.

The failure rate for non rough seas is very low...

The cause of the depth keeping issue was discovered aboard U-94 when they performed a field inspection on a torpedo which was very much against Standard Operational Procedure.

The fix for the non air tight balance chamber was not available till very late 1942.

The NYGM Depth Keeping Issue via SH3 Cmdr will only occur as per historical dates.

The % chance of a magnetic torpedo premature detonation occurring in rough seas;

Pi1 40%
Pi2 15%
Pi3 15%
Pi4a 5%
Pi4b 5%
Pi4c 5%
Pi4d 5%
Pi6 5%

NOTE: the deeper the depth of the torpedo the less likely a premature detonation will occur.

Great!
I wonder, the guys like you should take a part in SH4 programming. I mean you have a passion. Those guys from ubi don't have and if sh4 is full of bugs like sh3 I won't spend my money for it. Only thanks to guys like you the sh3 is playable.
Thanks
