Dud torpedos, dud torpedos everywhere
Is there anything more frustrating in this than spending half an hour stalking a target, calculating its speed and course without map contacts, getting into the perfect position and firing only to hear those awful words “torpedo is a dud”? Apparently yes, having the second and third torpedos also turn out to be duds.
I ended up becoming a massive cheater, repeatedly loading a save game until I sank the ship but that removes all sense of satisfaction. Alas, I have started a new game. Beyond increasing my torpedo mans ability and ensuring I fire as close to 90degrees AoB as possible, what more can I do to prevent so many dud torpedos? Can anybody comment on the value of magnetic over impact pistols and how I might change torpedo depth depending on their use? I rarely use electric torpedos since if my steam ones are failing at such a high rate I don’t know if I can trust the so called problem torpedos. |
