[GEUS] Purnylla [GEUS] Players 1,105 posts 25,180 battles Report post #5 Posted July 31, 2020 It's very much more likely the player didn't intend to run in your torpedos, but had another good reason to cross their path. Happened to me several times I'm brawling with my battleship, only to have some trigger happy destroyer fire torpedos into the brawl. Considering how slow my turrets turn, I'm gonna turn my ship and circle around the enemy to keep firing on them. By the time I have spotted any incoming torpedos (often from a side where I do not expect them, since there are no enemies on that side), I cannot dodge the torpedos anymore due to bad maneuverability. If that looks like I'm turning my ship into torpedos on purpose, so be it. I'm just turning my ship to keep my turrets on the target. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Enemy ships @ 90 degrees from the opposite side (so the playerererer turns his ship away from the last enemy ships and will never reach them).

No you are not, because your action made the whole thing possible. You think he deliberately turned into your torps, while might not have. Other players shouldnt feel the need to watch BEHIND them, because you felt the need to torp from 2nd line. Dont torp when you have someone infront of you, case closed. 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soemba Players 96 posts 15,401 battles Report post #9 Posted July 31, 2020 You launch your torpedoes from an angle he doesn't expect them. Hell i never tend to look as much backwards as I trust people to not torpedo from behind me. So you only get the warning incoming torpedoes beeping sound. Will be hard to dodge them. In my opinion the one launching them is the one that should be reported. Yes i might have eaten some torpedoes i could have dodged, but didn't. Does this count as eating them on purpose as i didn't change course in this case. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gud community. How TOXIC Or the player in question got spotted and turned to angle away from whoever could shoot them. Or they turned to bring guns to bear on a vulnerable target. Or they had any one of a ton of other good reasons to make a turn, and didn't have any reason to expect a friendly DD to be dumb enough to torp too close to them. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BanzaiPiluso Players 1,217 posts 13,126 battles Report post #15 Posted July 31, 2020 I just do not launch torpedoes anymore if there is an ally that could potentially turn and get hit. Even if you warn them in chat there is no assurance they will understand or see your warning. So is always your fault. I tend to believe Italian torpedos being so slow and long range tend to increase the chances of friendly fire, as nobody pay attention to them and DDs specially being so fast can turn into them. In any case is my fault and I apologize. If there is someone out there with in game suicidal tendencies, is still my fault :) 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dont even bother. Both WG and the Majority in this Forum have that Idea that someone Deliberately pulling a 180 degree turn just to catch your Torps is still your Fault no matter what. I had People here Claim its My Fault when a French DD used his Speed Boost to Overtake my 35 knot Aircraft Torpedoes that I dropped facing away from his Position. Because Clearly him Overtaking and Catching my Torps is absolutely my Fault. People in this Forum are Unreasonable like that. My Answer by now is to Basicly Just Torp Second Line all I want and Ignore it when PeeeP run into my Torps. Usually Reporting them for Playing Badly and Playing a Different Ship for 2 Battles. After all. If its my fault anyways I can just as well do something worth being my Fault. 2 2 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[XTREM] Miragetank90 Players 2,626 posts 18,702 battles Report post #20 Posted July 31, 2020 @Space_Vato More often than not players don't purposefully run into your torps, they just don't usually expect them to come from, you know - teammates torping behind them. Yeah yeah, this isn't what you wanted to hear, I'm so TOXIC, shame on me. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[FMJ] Gebbly Players 182 posts Report post #23 Posted July 31, 2020 I dont think anyone has said anything particularly "toxic". Anyone is allowed to complain but it has to be accepted that if you complain in a public forum then others are equally allowed to voice their opinions. Importantly in some situations such as this, if people have spotted a mistake in gameplay and have tried to offer the best way to handle the situation, which is the general consensus here, it is worth considering their opinions and perhaps altering your play-style to avoid the situation you are unhappy with. An unwritten rule of WoWs I learnt very early on is If a person wants to fire torpedoes it is that persons responsibility to check the area around them and ensure that no friendlies can accidentally sail into the path of the torpedoes. Sometimes this may mean not firing because there is a risk of friendly fire. As Jingles says, once you fire torpedoes they are no-ones friends. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
