Torpedo visibility from the air post 0.3.1

[CasualCat2001]

So in 0.3.1 this was one of the changes:

• Torpedoes' visibility from the air has been reduced.

I've seen people say this was reversed, but can't find it in subsequent patch notes.  Does anyone know if it was reverted and if so which patch?  Thanks.

Don't think it was reverted at any time.

A patch previous to that increased the overall torpedo spotting IIRC.

Do you (or does anyone) know what that range is currently then?  Is it the same distance as ships (ie ships spot them from 2.1 and so do planes)?

I don't think this has been specifically tested. I do think that it's shorter than ship detection, but I've got no idea on how short.

 

On a related note, I have not been paying attention enough to enemy torps to confirm if they ever go back to being undetected. Say you launch and a plane happens to spot them and flies off. Do they stay spotted?

I'm pretty sure they stay spotted.

If a torp is spotted, it stays spotted. One of the most [edited]mechanics. It means a dd cannot release torps while being spotted.
