Veiwing torpedoes during attack!!

Is there a way I can watch my torpedoes on there way to the target? And can I switch between them when I have multiple torps on the loose?

With event camera on, you can follow torps from launch till hit, but as far as I know if you close down the window, you can't open it back up until the torp hits or miss (both are considered events, so they pop the window back up). AFAIK, you can't switch between torps either, you can only follow the last you launched.

i like to use the external camera to view the torps approach the unsuspecting prey, popping sometimes underwater to watch and listen to them whirl by...

if you use the early war steam torps, they leave a nice bubble trail to follow.

the other day, i fired several torps in rough seas, set at 2 meters. i could see them jumping through the waves like porpoises

just plain fun!

The torpedo-cam switches off after about 800m. So, if you're shooting 1000m, the torpcam will turn off right before the torpedo hits. I've found it's better to use the external cam to "follow" the torpedo.
