I have stopped counting how many times it has happened I have shot a load of torpedos at an enemy just to see them sail straight through them, no harm done what so ever. What the hell is wrong!!!!? Does anyone else have this same problem? I'm very very frustrated. And no reboot, Ctrl Alt Delete etc wont fix the problem. Neither will any smart [edited]answers this is wrong place to write about this. I don't care. I'm pissed!! 11 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[-SBG-] ColonelPete Players 38,559 posts 19,178 battles Report post #2 Posted October 3, 2018 More information could help. Otherwise we can assume that you watched Deep Water Torpedos going under an enemy DD, which is how it is supposed to work.... 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Enemy ships too thin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_tunnelling Spoiler Quantum tunnelling or tunneling (see spelling differences) is the quantum mechanical phenomenon where a particle passes through a potential barrier that it classically cannot surmount. This plays an essential role in several physical phenomena, such as the nuclear fusion that occurs in main sequence stars like the Sun.[1] It has important applications to modern devices such as the tunnel diode,[2]quantum computing, and the scanning tunnelling microscope. The effect was predicted in the early 20th century, and its acceptance as a general physical phenomenon came mid-century.[3] Fundamental quantum mechanical concepts are central to this phenomenon, which makes quantum tunnelling one of the novel implications of quantum mechanics. Quantum tunneling is projected to create physical limits to how small transistors can get, due to electrons being able to tunnel past them if they are too small.[4][5] Tunnelling is often explained in terms of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle and the premise that the quantum object has more than one fixed state (not a wave nor a particle) in general. WG need to make a tutorial on this. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WG need to make a tutorial on this. If WG do start making off-topic tutorials, then in view of some recent threads, I'm going to start a petition for them to make one about the concept 'randomness' Especially how 'random' =/= 'evenly distributed' 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[-FF-] elblancogringo Players 1,207 posts 7,342 battles Report post #7 Posted October 3, 2018 I also saw a player a couple of weeks ago complaining his torps didn't work, then saying enemy DD was a cheater. He was in a t5 or t6 pan-a destroyer... Sometimes people are beyond saving. I mean, reading a tool tip is obviously too difficult. They also can't ask themselves why is the torps icon different... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had the driver of a ChungMu accusing me of cheating because his torpedoes didn't hit my Gearing, I could only assume eBay was involved. I've quite often had DW torps fired at my Kamikaze which is comical, but sortof understandable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Select target DD, aim torpedoes, get a white outline and big message in front of the screen saying something along the lines of cannot hit target. What more do they need to do? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had an Akatzuki accuse me of cheating as his torps hit the wreck of the Mahan that was in front of my Gnevny when he charged my smoke. He grounded on a island in front of me. I then sailed past and torped him at 2km. Oh the salt, it was delicious. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When you try to target a DD, the torpedo aiming indicator looks differently and even a text appears on the screen, saying that you can't hit this target. Long story short: everyone has this "problem" because it's not a problem at all, but rather the defining design feature of this weapon - extremely stealthy compared to counterpart from other navies but unable to hit enemy destroyers. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Malfuss Players 331 posts 3,572 battles Report post #24 Posted October 4, 2018 After getting sunk myself, was spectating a Gearing and saw a Yueyang accuse him of cheating when the Gearing ran aground and the Yueyang launched both racks of torps at him from about 2-3km which obviously did nothing whilst the Gearing torps hit. A T10, how the hell do you manage to get all the way to T10 in PA DD's and not realise you can't hit DD's?!?! I've even had an Asashio say the same when his torps went under my Mogami which is slightly more understandable considering he was a wallet warrior. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Had the same thing happen to me twice last weekend, when hunting Asashios skulking behind our lines with my Mogami. GREAT FUN! When mounting a speed flag the blighters are even too slow to run... Some might feel it a bit unfair though, lost 1 karma each time. Totally worth it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
