Torpedo was a dud sir

fullmetaledges · 04-12-07, 08:48 PM

I actually for the first time since i got the game had a torpedo hit the target and bounce off and my soundman said "Torpedo was a dud sir" I was shocked, not that I had a dud but that the soundman said that. Anyone else have that happen?

Ill raise you one dud and 40 "torpedoe missed".

No actually I have not heard this.

I've had it happen at least twice that I recall.

2 dud impacts on same ship with one miss!

I hear it quite often, when the shots are close to 90 degrees. The best is a 45 to 70 degree angle impact.

Sometimes I get that when there is a a premature detination.

I heard that once after I thought I saw an impact... it damaged the ship but no holes.

Yup me too. You'd think a premature explosion would cause the convoy to zig zag and speed up.

Iv seen the torpedo bumb into the target and the call out "Torpedo was a dud sir", so you are not alone

Iv only seen it once though

jdski · 04-13-07, 07:14 AM

I don't think I've had one torp not be a dud if I set it to high speed.

Yea, I always thought so to, but they just chug along as if nothing had ever happened.

3 times so far and I was out of torps too.

Cakewalk · 04-13-07, 12:20 PM

3 duds, 11 early detonations out of 14 torpedoes fired at a convoy. Man, I was pi***d.
