If you happen to be moving forward, you can hit yourself with plunging fire. Don't ask how I found this, I was really bored. EDIT: OK, so I tried it with all sorts of ships in training room. It seems to now happen when you are at close proximity (like below 1 km) to an enemy ship and locked on to him and firing without scoping. It's stupidly hard to pull off now, but I got it to work once or twice. Edited May 3, 2017 by ValkyrWarframe 17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EDIT: I think it's safe to assume that dispersion is a function of horizontal distance traveled rather than total distance.

1,284 The_first_harbinger Members 3,681 posts 8,111 battles Report post #4 Posted May 3, 2017 You can do this with almost any ship with two super firing turrets at the bow... Meaning ships like Farragut, ships like Myoko, ships like Fuso, Kongo, Montana and Yamato... Or, You used to be able to...this was fixed a while ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmm, I'll try this in training room, maybe it still works. I do recall sometimes my turrets fire directly up when I flick the camera, and recently too.

1,753 goldeagle1123 Members 5,424 posts 3,448 battles Report post #16 Posted May 3, 2017 Thaaat is extremely concerning. You're able to apparently break the games coding that sets limits on the elevation values... WG should definitely be taking a look at this. On a side note: plunging fire finally working as intended!

I know Udaloi at one point could torpedo herself. You had to use the wing-mounted launchers and have speed flag and engine boost running while torpedoing as forward as possible, turning into the torpedoes.
