Yes now that you mention it, I had this crazy dream the other night where this happened. I almost missed it owing to the fact that the deck was lined with very scantily clad women. They really know how to work those torps though, I gotta say I was impressed. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[SICK] Exocet6951 Weekend Tester 5,151 posts 11,809 battles Report post #19 Posted August 31, 2019 My guess is that it was firing high speed, airborne torpedoes. Something along the lines of 830m/s , which plunge into the water right before hitting the main belt for roughly 12k damage. SNEAKY 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Standard crew (under)garment for french ships, nothing unusual sailor, move along. (on a side note, when I was in the Brest marine geophysics lab I met marine cadets of the feminine variety who did an internship with us. And, yes, they were quite pretty ) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[HNFC] NicramDuel Players 282 posts 24,890 battles Report post #23 Posted August 31, 2019 Actually, JB's HAVE been doing these torpedo launches in ranked games a lot lately. Especially after they disappear in a cloud of smoke. They seem to tend to do this more often if you do not have the JB in radar range. There also seems to be a strong correlation between this phenomenon and the prolonged hiding of at least one enemy DD, but the data is still insufficient. It may just be coincidence. Don't worry though - british scientists are already on the job! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
