Torpodoes range

RickR · 01-10-10, 10:04 PM

Can someone tell me the range of Type I and Type II torpodoes, in meters, using GWX 3.0?

There is something in the SH3 manual but it is not making sense...

Regards,
Rick

Range for TI is depends on speed and distans but "normally" running at least 6500 meters.TII or later TIII 5000 m.The settings for TI is slow,medium.faster And can be used in manual targeting,one thing I prefer....

Speed: 44-40-30 knots
Range: 5-7.5-12.5km

"Type I 6500 meters. Type II or TIII 5000 m."

"Speed: 44-40-30 knots"
"Range: 5-7,5-12.5km"

Great! Thanks! OK, so rule of thumb would be 5000m, always try to get within 5000m. Got it! Thanks!

within 5000m

!?! Yes i think you are right... But if you want to hit anything get within 1500m-2000m is better

Being able to take shots against stationary targets at 10km is nice, and long shots against convoys can also be attractive: you might not feel like playing with their escorts, and even f you miss your intended target you have a decfent chance of hitting something.

In many other situations the longer range of the atmospheric torpedos is quite useless though, especially against manoeverable targets... they will literally see it coming from miles away and evade.

Does the mod that changes the torpedoe wake effect the range at which the torpedoe can be spotted, or is the mod just eye candy?

Or other torp. have steam engine,and this is not eye candy,I´ts real, obviously in the game so yes this is stream of heat pollution from the engine
