Torps - Premature explosions?

[Rockin Robbins]

Well, you have to say that elanaiba and crew are all over our concerns and have really hit a home run with patch 1.3! I can't say enough good about the way they fixed Silent Hunter IV, making it at least equal to SH3 and the best sub simulator the world has ever seen by a long way. I know Ubi is still taking heat over at the Ubisoft forums, but here where the real hardcore simmers hang out, we're happy. Patch 1.3 is an incredible job by a team that obviously cares about making their customers happy.

The premature explosions are actually a product of their dedication to ensuring that the game reflect reality in preference to being "fun" to play. That is a courageous decision and the correct decision. Mods are available that will "fix" it if desired. For the rest of us, we'll just set the switch to contact only as the real skippers did. Except we'll smile as we do it.
