Early Mk14 Dud Rate

SteamWake · 04-19-07, 09:29 AM

two things.

Do you have "duds" checked in the difficulty settings ?

The pistol setting has a nasty tendacy to reset itself when your not looking.

Personally Ive had about 1 in 10 torps go "doink".

What I see more often actually is the gyro go wacko and the torp rips off to starbord at about a 30 degree angle

There should be an issue with the firing pin being too light. I've had a few duds with contact warheads but not nearly enough (that goes for all the various torpedo problems.

So far I've seen mags failing to detonate, ciruclar runner, duds, premature detonations and, i think but I'm not sure, depth keeping problems too which is a surprisingly complete list of faults. I have not seen gyro problems yet, either.

Actually, I've seen them all too, except the duds.

Same thing, failed gyro causes the circular runner.

I have had less than a handful of duds and prematures. Should be more in the early war.

hm strange. for me every second torpedo is mallfunctional. Its not always a dud, mostly i have premature detonation.

When i fire 6 at a big target such a carrier. I can only rely on about 2 to actualy reach it.

Hrm since the carrier is usually in the middle of a large task force perhaps there being "intercepted" ?

2 should be enough since I have had every CV roll over with 2 hits.

Yes, I've got dud rates checked, playing on realistic setting ( I meant to post that, I knew it would be the first thing asked!), and I double check my pistol setting before launch.

I've noticed this too. Dud rate is way, way to low.
