[REQ] Torpedo Loading....%???????

DiveMonkey · 04-20-07, 11:25 AM

LOL! After my initial attack I do break contact, run silent run deep

usually til I get 4 or 5 ntm clear but I try to take a course that leaves me with a good second intercept (this cant always be done)

So, I guess if a percentage was good enough for the Skippers back than, it's good enough for me.

it was just a thought.

Steve and others bring up a good point too, not being able to load in ruff seas or under attack, Should risk injuring crew.
I wouldn't mind seeing that in SHIV ether

And a good one. Expressing the answer to a "when" question in percentages is unnatural.

I don't think they used percentages then either; nor even times. I'm betting the closest they could actually get was "Pretty soon, sir!", or "Almost there!"

This goes back to the discussion in the SH3 Forums about moving external torpedoes in any weather, as the game allows, or only in a flat calm as reality insisted upon. You just have to impose your own desired level of reality.
