  • Torps going under ships

Can some one tell me why some of my torps are going underneath ships. Im a new SSdriver and finaly got close to a BB4 and fiered  all  tubes on his broadside. The aim was perfect but only 2/4 hit, they went on trough. Did i do something wrong or is it a glitch??

IJN SS4 will be the official troll ship to use when stalking people you don't like by having them blow up with all 8 torpedoes at once every time.

when a torp gets to a ship .. the game engine does its math roll thingie and determines if the torp will hit or dud
if i understand it correctly - the dud rate varies by nation (and i'm not sure - but also possibly by torp type as well)

my understanding is that IJN has the least duds of all the nations ..

this is also where the KM proximity advantage comes into play ...
if the game mechanics roll determines it will be a dud ... then ...
for KM - it rolls AGAIN to determine if it will be a proximty explosion or not




learning your fast/slow torp ranges and how to 'shortstop' them sidesteps the dud issue

You have duds because of your insanely overpowered damage and splash damage.

Balance that, and remove duds.

Some of shells not explode in contact,is happen in war that must been balanced like torpedoes.

Don't cut add shells duds in similar rate.

Adding shell duds to ships in a similar rate wouldn't be fair for anyone. No one should suffer from duds.
In real life it happened, but in a game, If a player aims well it should be rewarded... and this also applies to SS.

I was wondering who was in that USN SS3. Tell him he should slow down if he forces a KM SS3 into crit dive, he could have sunk me if he didn't drift into torpedo safety distance.
