  • Ability to destroy torps

Hey everyone

Well my suggestion on how to protect your self against a wave of torpedoes and
one that your most likely not going to survive from is this:

The ability to blow , or misguide torpedoes coming directly at you. I had some ideas
of my own, but many others in this thread have come up with some more practicle
ideas. Im not going to take the time to list them, so feel free to read through some
of the ideas.

As you all know, torps have to be a certian range away from its mother ship before
they 'arm' themselves for explosion. Well we've all had our share of Torp Whores so
I think this would be a real help

It would also get back at them for being Torp Whores in the first place as they
would have less of a chance of destroying you in the first place ;)

Well perhaps TeamNF should look into the history of how Naval Ships defended
themselves directly against torpedoes

And if you say they use to use nets, perhaps they should implement it so, it would
be a lot cheaper then having us pay for araments

Trying to keep the realisim in the game, I couldnt find any way that ppl destroyed
torps apart from Torp nets over the side of ships but that was back in ww1 dont
know if they used them into ww2?

Germans noticed their torps were crap? *eyes that statement* you mean americans, because otherwise the british would not have nearly lost the war due to how many ships the wolfpacks sunk.
the best torps were.
japs.
Germans.
British.
Americans
the americans had the worst because it was a known fact that 80% of them eather didn't blow up, or were built so badly they just sank halfway to the target.
A fact that did not change until the last years of WW2.
"At any one time during the so-called 'Happy Times' for U-boats, there were only ever a maximum of 30 at sea. For an area the size of the northern Atlantic, this was not many. Despite this, they managed to wreak havoc. Individual U-boat captains like Kretschmer were responsible for the sinking of 200,000 tons of shipping alone."
200K in tonnage being a good number for a single Uboat during a 2 year 'happy time' means the torps were NOT unreliable.

that also mentions nothing of unreliability.
and lastly.... there was nothing to counter torps accuratly with anything other then ECM like I said and even that was only when they have guided torpedoes. later in the war.
learn to dodge. =O

Do it much like how a ship automaticaly fires at airplanes over head ya know sometimes you hit the airplanes sometimes you don't. In real-life like any sailior that maned a AA or flak gun would shoot at a Trop rather then just let it hit his ship. Like I said sometimes you hit the Torp sometimes you don't same fourmula would apply as it would with planes.

my 2 cents.
