I am confused. I do remember quite a while ago (anywhere between a few months to last year my memory fails me) there being a bug where torps would fire if you hit the button while they where traversing into position. Not sure if it's back in some way or not but it has happened in the past, and i'm pretty sure it happened to me once as well, it was...scary, to say the least.

I am confused. It's happened a few times where torps don't quite fire where they are aimed at according to the game, though I think it's been a while since we had one of those. But after the absolute debacle that was CV's last patch and still seems to be not fully resolved somehow, really can't rule it out. I wouldn't be surprised if a patch removed the torpedo aim guide again (Con: it made aiming torpedoes super hard, Pro: made me a hell of a lot better at aiming torps, even under water in sub vs sub with no ping use). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

263 [-RUM-] FullMetal_Inferno Members 373 posts 6,876 battles Report post #19 Posted October 29, 2020 Over the 6 or so games I played today I ran into two oddities: I had one instance where my guns were locked and I fired both torpedo sets towards an enemy as I was fleeing. Instead, the torpedoes shot forward and naturally had no chance of hitting my original target I played a match in my Blyskawica where my torpedoes just wouldn't fire. Everything was reloaded and none of my armament was locked, but they wouldn't fire. After toggling between torpedoes and guns a few times they both immediately fired at the same vector. So much for my torpedo spread... I don't know what changed but this is definitely uncomfortable. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It doesn't show too well but I am clicking for the torpedo spread and it doesn't work until it decides to and launches all my fish on the same path. 20201028_184646_PWSD501-Blyskawica_16_OC_bees_to_honey.wowsreplay Edited October 29, 2020 by FullMetal_Inferno Spelling 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And you're complaining why? Because it's unpredictable and not reliably reproducible. I've had torps from my Weser's planes occasionally follow a dead-straight parallelpath with no diversion despite (a) launching in a tight turn and (b) the aiming cone being wider than T8 Kansas' mama, and if I could get that to happen reliably I'd be a very happy man. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Definitely remember that, as I fired a full salvo of torps out of the opposite side of the ship expected and sunk a friendly NorCal. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
