Anyhow on my third attempt just before we lost as all my team was dead i snook in on the edge of cap and smoked up. DETECTED....................oh jesus how? Looked behind me nothing and in front nothing........... Then a nagato popped in to view round some rocks at like a 1km range i couldnt torp him he couldnt shoot me so i shot backwards and torped him and died. I hit the nagato from bow to stern with 8 solid torpedos no kill? This correct? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Nagato has more health and a better torpedo belt.... not surprising that you didn't kill it. Edited February 7, 2017 by Kombat_W0MBAT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

237 [ICOP] Junostorm Members 1,079 posts 4,783 battles Report post #10 Posted February 7, 2017 Based on your description of events it would seem the Nagato was close enough that the torp did not meet the minimum criteria to arm thus no damage to the Nagato.

The torpedoes are usable, but they don't need to be buffed. If they were, the ship would be OP. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1,373 [INTEL] CapnCappy Members 3,265 posts 6,614 battles Report post #14 Posted February 7, 2017 So................sims needs a buff to torps. The buff is to use the fast, short range torpedoes (36% more damage). I prefer them myself but will probably use the sea mines for ranked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The guns and maneuverability are what set the Sims apart as the undisputed best cap-contester at T7. If you can't learn to make them work then pick a different ship. EDIT: As for your original post, the Detailed Report screen would be significantly more useful. The team score is irrelevant to your point.

But basing on your statement, I am a bit curious if you would still say the same for the Russian DDs with their next to worthless 4km torpedoes. .... If you're playing USN or Russian DD for their torps, then you're wrong. USN DD have good alpha damage with HE, they are fast and manoeuvrable but their arc is crap. The more you close the distance between you and the target, the better you will perform. Russian DD are sniping DD, you shoot from long range with your laser accuracy and fast travelling shells and you set fire while dodging incoming shells with you're insane speed. USN DD can stealth torps if you're not too dumb, i managed to do a devastating strike in my Farragut without being spotted using my torps. About Russian torps are just here as defensive tool in knife fight and 10 torps coming at 70 kts torps from a Kiev a Kiev isn't something you can easily avoid. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah the torps on the sims are not very good, it is still a fun boat though. As for the NM seeming like it's tougher than the Colorado, that's because it is. It has better armor layout and more hit points.... Figure that one out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was in a lightly damaged Arizona and a Japanese DD popped up behind an island and launched a boatload of torps. I turned into them took 5 or so dead on the bow (I think only the first 2 did damage and the rest just hit the saturated forward section) and then blew the DD away with 5 hits from the main battery (he was at 2k range or so). He was pissed. Couldn't understand why I wasn't dead or very close to it. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
