Untargeted torpedoes must get a penalty

[rustyfeeder]

Torpedoes launched blindly without a target lock should get a penalty to their speed and detection range. This is retarded. How mamy times I died to a random torpedo coming out of nowhere. And these japaneasy ninjas with their torpedo rain is pure crap.

 

You know what? Remove the ability to launch torpedoes without a target lock.

I doubt those torps were random.

There is no need to punish a player who knows how to torp, research ships and train your awareness instead.

How did you know it was untargeted? Most times you get hit by enemy torps can be counted as "random", unless you were planning on it to hit you and you just dove on it. I have gotten hundreds of kills on ships just using situational awareness, skills, RPF, ability to foresee enemy movements. Should I get punished for that?

 

How about torping a Smolensk sitting in smoke HE spamming? That is a untargeted torp hit, I didn't have a lock on him?

Here we go....

[SV_Kompresor]

Have we torped somewhere recently? Cause I'm grinding the uk dd line right now and there have been at least 3-4 separate ocasions in the last week when my torps hit an unintended target. (All of them enemy of course, who do you think I am?)

Sure.

Right after CVs get removed, BBs camping in the back get a penalty for being more then 6km away from the enemy and and radar cruisers get a 10000% Accuracy nerf if the shoot a spotted DD.

 

After that we can talk, until then use WASD.

In some cases, we launch torpedos trying to guess if there is some enemy coming in that flank, etc. If we torp by mistake a teammate, we become pink, locking or not the torpedo launched. Thinking in the same line, a shell fired without a lock a target, must be penalized the same way as you recommend for torping.

[Cyclops_]

Does that mean we have to remove Radio Location from the Captains Skills so that we can not torp targets shown up by said Captains Skill?????

Yep. This topic is. Bait.

[Captain_Newman]

Yes, because players who can make intelligent predictions on where to torp based on skill, experience and awareness need to be punished for it.

 

OP, if you think torping effectively is easy, go ahead and give it a try, let us know how it went. Just blindly spamming them like you seem to think it works does very little and is more likely to make you pink than do anything useful.

 

Now, how about you go check your profile, and look at your performance with torpedo boats, such as Akatsuki, Fubuki etc. If it’s so easy, how come your average damage on them suggests you don’t even land a single torpedo per battle, on average? My suggestion, work on improving your skills and understanding of the game, then you can talk about what needs nerfing with a bit more leg to stand on.

[Jethro_Grey]

Well, if OP wants a penalty for untargeted torps, we might want to consider the option of buffing targeted torps, in range, accuracy, detectability and damage. 

 

To balance it out  you know.

This is a wind-up, right?

[ThePurpleSmurf]

Threads like this are hilarious. Even more so, that the complaint is about eating random torps, coming from a below average player (naturally) who is a CV main.

🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[dCK_Ad_Hominem]

Well, someone needs to understand that torps are an area denial weapon. 

 

And when you enter that area you might as well have this blasting from your speakers to remind you:

Try maybe paying attention to the map and using all the keys not just the W or S.

Torpedos does not came out of nowhere they come out of DDs/some CAs, you need to undrustend the mechanic of turn your ship! and the imporatant mechanic of loook at the map! and you wil be fine.

You might find that what you think are untargeted torps are someone like me using my skill and judgement to decide you're going to come round an island and sending a few fish to meet you.
