How to Use Torpedo Reload Booster

[Cuesta_Rey]

Seems I cannot figure out how or when to use this Torpedo Reload Booster consumable.

 

 

If I use it before I begin to launch torpedoes, nothing happens (except the consumable is used).

If I use it after I launch torpedoes, nothing happens (except the consumable is used).

So, what the heck am I doing wrong? When and how do you use the consumable. Am I misunderstanding what it's intended to do? I am under the impression it's supposed to allow an (almost) immediate relaunch of torpedoes.

You launch all your fishies, use the consumable, new fishies loaded in 5 seconds. 

 

Edit: Ah, the main branch reloads in 30, the sub branch reloads in 5.

What ship are you in? Only Shiratsuyu and Akitsuki get the new version. Use it after you launched all your torps then 5 secs later you can launch again

It is 20 seconds. I swear its never 5 seconds.   Kag is the one I used it.  Maybe the new ones are 5.

Good information! I was having the same problem with Shiratsuyu which so far is an awesome ship!

98% of the time you want to use the torp reload booster immediately after you release ALL of your torpedoes. 

 

If you launched torps a minute ago and come upon a juicy target with 30 seconds left on the normal reload counter... WAIT.  Unless you're about to die or must torp to win the game.

I have both ships. 

I tried it immediately after I launched torpedoes in my Akitsuki (just minutes ago) and it worked this time. Not sure what I did wrong the first times I tried using it. For sure, I was not able to relaunch torps in 5 seconds then.

 

Am I the only one who thinks that a measly 4 torps on an Akitsuki is a bit small? I can easily see where that reload consumable is a must on that ship.

You launch torpedoes, use the consumable and say "ANOTHER ONE", and launch more.

[hawkai]

I would also suggest to use it wisely and for when you really need it in close, don't waste it just cause it is over cool down and your  safe at the moment, you will need it to take out the BB

Akituski's guns is the main thing of the ship.

 

Torps and torp reload consumable is just icing.

Akizuki does not need more than 4 torpedoes.  The ship's guns have insane DPM and firestarting potential; they reload in 3 seconds flat.

Just got the Shiratsuyu. When should I expect to even see this perk? Learning how to use it pretty well thru this thread but I don't see the option yet.

The Shiratsuyu recently got screwed in a nerf.

You have to select it instead of smoke generator now, the same way you'd pick between hydro search and defensive fire, for example.

In Commander's Skills? Still don't see it. Don't have the upgraded torps yet tho.

 

EDIT!!

Found it... thanks.
