943 [TOSEY] KalishniKat Members 1,344 posts Report post #1 Posted June 28, 2017 How is it that torpedo planes defy the laws of physics, swoop down right next to a mountain and somehow put torpedoes in the water? There is zero room for an actual torpedo run. Dive bombers I can see, but a torpedo plane needs a straight run. they shouldn't be able to basically dive straight down and drop their torps and have them run straight. You get zero lead time on the torpedo, have no room to maneuver out of the way, yet they torpedoes seem to have plenty of room to run in that few meters between you and the shoreline. Its a [edited] mechanic and needs to be fixed. By the way, I despise sky cancer in all its forms. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

817 [VVV] Lord_Magus Members 3,248 posts 5,521 battles Report post #6 Posted June 28, 2017 It's entirely possible for a torp bomber squadron to do that and end up with their torps landing on the mountain instead of the water. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

359 GUNSTAR_THE_LEGEND Members 1,651 posts 20,692 battles Report post #11 Posted June 28, 2017 Now you have to remember that island that looks like you could reach out and touch it is sitll 2 to 3 km away if you check the actual distance. So 3km to shore line is about 2 miles which would be enough however it is cutting it really close. But we have Ace pilots in every squadron so they make it happen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The way the camera in the game works makes it look as if they don't travel very far, but they actually are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is also the server and the players view being out of sync. The server is dropping on water while the target player sees them hitting land. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I quit playing CVs because of this mechanic, and someday WG will wake up like the did in WoT (arty) and make the mechanic disappear in this game or nerf arty to make it a bit more realistic. CVs should not be on the board... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
