Torps veering way off. . .

wambam · 04-21-10, 02:12 PM

Anyone know why this is happening: Suddenly any torp I fire shoots out straight for about couple hundred meters then swings completely to the left at about 90 degrees and sails off into the wild blue yonder. I aim at a ship around 1km and halfway there it veers off. (Maybe it's because I checked the rest of my torps and in very small print they are stamped: Made in England...lol).

Anyone any advice? Thanks in advance.

Just a guess , but is the target either 90 degrees to the left or right of you?

I.E. the torps are having to veer towards the target?

Maybe you are locked on to another target ? I.E. not the one you think it is?

Dunno - that's all I can think of at the moment, but I've not heard of any bugs like that.

I was having a similar problem last night. Try reloading the game a couple times. Worked OK for me.

This happened to me when I moved on to acoustic torpedos

Thanks, guys, for fast replies but I found out what it was. I went back a few saves and tested them up to the present saves and found that there were two "bum" saves it was happening with - the last one and the second last save. Don't know why. I hadn't changed the gameplay any. So I just took it from the last good save. Didn't lose much gameplay. Que sera sera.
