PSA: Bug with torps - Check its heading after launch!

[amade]

Bug report: Link

 

As you can see from the screenshot above, the torps launched in a completely different direction than where I was aiming. I'm 99% certain this is not a desync bug, because I had been aiming at that direction for a very long time so even if there was any desync it should've caught up with where I was actually aiming. I have got confirmation from another player who also experienced this bug. It does not seem to occur all the time, e.g. in that battle I was able to launch some salvoes normally before the bug occurred.

The important thing to be aware of here is that this bug may cause accidental TKs! So please take extra care and check where your torps are heading after you launch them, and warn your allies in case of misdirected torps.

Ping is always -35 in replays.

Didn't know that (never enabled or used them).  In that case it would be hard to tell if it was a connection issue.  I play a lot of DD and haven't ever experienced that before.
