But yes, they have them since they put the ship into the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah and since it has very poor armor it's likely to get Citadel hit yo death lol or many ships have secondary gun ranges beyond 4.5 km so you can get killed by gun fire that way before using the torpedoes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're good, just ridiculously short ranged. Best used for emergencies, ambushes, and self defense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

3,150 [HINON] RivertheRoyal Privateers 6,266 posts 3,405 battles Report post #11 Posted June 28, 2017 You don't remember torpedoes on the Atlanta since nobody really ever uses them. I mean, when people are close enough for the torpedoes, it's normally quicker and easier to simply blap them to death with her guns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't even remember that last time I fired torps in my Atlanta. I do. Had an Iowa come around the corner at 7km. I said screw it and charged in and got my fish off right before he blew me to pieces. Got 2 torp hits though. Best torp run was this NC trying to side scrape an island. IE backing up enough to clear his guns from behind an island then pulling up to reload. So I ran around the island at 3km and let him eat a full broadside of torps. He died in a spectacular explosion. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

90 GulfStorm Beta Testers 323 posts 3,583 battles Report post #18 Posted June 28, 2017 I've used torpedoes in my Atlanta probably 2-3 times tops. Granted, it was usually stunning kill and probably a seriously pissed off Red player on the receiving end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I must correct myself. The Flint's torps have a range of 9.2km and speed of only 55 knots just like the Mahan. However, Mahan max damage is only 11,600 compared to 16,633 for the Flint:\ http://wiki.wargaming.net/en/Ship:Flint Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
502 [KOOKS] FCA_Wichita Beta Testers 2,272 posts 6,174 battles Report post #20 Posted June 28, 2017 Very rarely used. Though I had NC charge mine in a cyclone, and I reminded him I had them.

792 Yoshiblue Members 4,477 posts 4,779 battles Report post #24 Posted June 28, 2017 The short range on them is why I figured it was a good idea to get up close and personal early on. Mostly because I always hoped Atalantas forget they had them in the first place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
