I have accidently TK'd by Torps. The problem is some people do not know to keep away from DD's when in range. Always give them room to manoeuvre as that is their only defence and always be aware that they will fire torps. DD guns are simply not effective enough even against enemy DD's to be used exclusively. Torps in the water are a valid tactic to restrict enemy movement. Everyone must check the map more and note that it isn't just DD's that have torps. Cruisers can be a problem as well. This game is a team game and each ship has a role to play, most of the problems are caused by people using CA's as DD's or worse, BB's as scouts. If your guns have good range you don't need to get in the same space as DD's. CA's tend to think they are DD's and run off, instead of protecting the Carriers and BB's from DD's and aircraft. I know cruisers are a kind of utility ship, but they should only carry out other ships roles if there are no longer any DD's or BB's available. Personally I take the view that gunfire TK's are all genuine. You have to aim at the target, making it intentional. Torp TK's are pretty much accidents either from poorly judged releases or from friendlies not watching the position of torp carrying ships. If you don't want to die to friendly torp fire, don't go where you are likely to get fired at by mistake.
