Torpedo guy...

Shkval · 06-01-10, 11:15 AM

In short, after upgrading the torpedo guy, I can't hit anything... torpedo does go faster but that is not compensated in gyro-angle, so it overshoots, I have to lower the speed of a target in TDC. This varies from case to case sometimes is -1 knot, sometimes -2 knots and in one occasion it was 3 knots difference. REALLY ANNOYING

. Is this a nasty bug? Or some "feature"?
One more thing how to adjust salvo-spread angle?

Feature. Use this to "fix" the problem:

Basically the torpedo guy's passive abilities increase the speed of torpedoes, but that's not taken into account by the TDC.

Yep im gonna have to install this mod myself too, as I made four missed shots in a row after upgrading the Torpedo guy's ability thinking it would increase damage, but yes the increased speed did away with that advantage caue ya can't hit the broadside of a barn now.

The last attack I did manage to hit but it was an electric torp, and it barely hit, and right on the snoot(bow).

Is it possible to put all the abilities back down to zero somehow by editing text? i put one slot into the torpedo guy before BARF came out (thank you!) and its never been quite the same since. I know mods can fix this but id rather level it out myself. Also the deck gun guy can fire like 65 rounds per minute, its nuts

Wanna get rid of that as well.

Does this works with 1.2 patch? If does, thank you man!
REALLY ANNOYING, as I sad, man I'm casual with aiming targets at 2800-2900 meters with T2 now I can't hit anything at 800 meters!

Yup, that mod was designed for 1.2

you could wait it out. If the torp goes faster, then, let your target cross the solution by 3 seconds or the periscope crosshair and see if it compensates. Alternately, you may use the mod above..
