I hate this game

[MarcA]

Ooooh!

[Speedysteve]

LOL. I symapthise. I have a had duds against an IJN BB and a CV.

I have also luckily sunk CVE Hosho and have heavily damaged CV Kaga in a recent attack in a PBEM with 2 torpedo's.

[Mr.Frag]

Just think how the real guys felt. Ever seen an armaments guy shoved into a torpedo tube? [X(]

[Speedysteve]

Nope but I assume with 100% certainty it would not be Nik. AFAIK there is no 40" wide torp tube........[;)]

[Titanwarrior89]

heheheheh[X(] Know how ya feel. Nice action shot! At least it woke up the midnight shift when it hit the side. "BAM"[:D]

[cantona]

you have my sympathy..THAT happend to me twice yesterday on two different carriers, then the damn fish decide to explode when they hit a PG or PC or MSW [:@]

[el cid again]

Whereas I love this part of it. I think it is very realistic.

[Terminus]

Realistic? Yeah, probably... Relentlessly frustrating? Most assuredly...

[FeurerKrieg]

That's my carrier he was shooting at. The moment before, when the the screen said "6 x whatever Torpedo" I about fell out of my chair.

A perfect example of karma... my Pearl Attack was cancelled due to weather, I've probably just recevied my reward for not asking for a replay of turn 1.

This is why I don't watch the animations. What I don't know won't drive me mad. [:@]

[joey]

I don't watch the animations either for the same reason. It is sometimes better not to know. I don't get so frustrated that way. It must have drove the WWII sub captains mad to see a perfect torpedo shot go bad when it did not explode.

[Cap Mandrake]

I wouldn't worry that much. Judging from the sub picture, the wave height has got to be 40-50 feet (keel to periscope.

The Japs are probably seasick and, at least, arent going to be conducting any air operations in that kind of sea.

[demonterico]

The poor quality of American torpedoes at the start of WWII is one of the facts which has always intrigued me. If I remember correctly, the negligence involved which caused this condition occur, bordered on criminal.

[joey]

There are many good books about the subject. Yes, the torpedo's functional problems were boarding on criminal. But once these issues were solved, we had a very reliable, functional torpedo. I guess sometimes you have to go thru a little pain to get a quality product.
