Buff torps

[DreadArchangel]

Something has to be done about them, their way to powerful in game, I would have all torps same damage as their airborne  brethern, in rl they were not that great, so why are they in wows , just pandering to the dd player base i suppose.

So, who is going to bring out the BaBBie bingo card?

Why do you want to buff them then?

 

[PeteEarthling]

How about adjusting BB guns to RL accuracy?

Maybe he thinks shiny torps would be easier to spot?

lol.

 

In rl one torp in most case was enough to force a battle ship out of fight. Two or more force ship to start fight for life. In rl you would not see japan torps at all. In rl torps had much more range. And all of them were much harder to spot. In rl flooding or hit in mid sections of ship force you to counterbalance and make ship combat ineffective. And so one. So yeach. And also in real life hit ratio of bb was less than 1 %. So one hit for each 100 shoots. With you guns getting more inaccurate with each shoot. So pls stop use real life as argument cos you dont want real life battle.

You are mis-reading the OP:

"their way to powerful" i.e. the path they must take in order to be powerful (the buffs required)

 I would have all torps same damage as their airborne  brethern,.

i.e. they must become as powerful as the effect of air launched torps:

•  be able to spot,
• launch from any aspect regardless of the position of the ship launching them,
• have limitless effective range (ship can launch torps anywhere on the map regardless of its position) and
• drop fighters along the way to keep thing spotted.
• be available at the very start of the game unlike DD torps currently which sometimes take over 2 minutes before they can be used

Yes he did, read my explanation of what he must have meant.

[WorthyOpponent]

Yes please, buff torps. More tears for my straight liner tear chalice!

I'm personally in favour of making the difference in BB/CA/DD purchase and maintenance costs closer to the differences in real life - might go some way to reducing the numbers of BBs in the queue!

No explanation necessary. "Buff torps" is pretty obvious.

If you think torps are overpowered, just wait until you encounter a halfway decently piloted Marceau. Practically invulnerable to anything that isn't another Marceau.

[lovelacebeer]

Ah yes our weekly thread where it’s not islands getting in the way then it’s DDs. 

[tocqueville8]

I agree, they should buff torps.

[GarrusBrutus]

@WolfGewehrfor you.

Let me guess, Yamato, Thunderer? Come one man, you are sailing to close to the enemy if you have problems with torpedoes.

 

Sail those ships as they are intended to and then come back here to whine about BB accuracy!

Have you ever heard of japanese Type 93 (long Lance) torpedo? Well, it had pretty big warhead (490 kg) and did pretty big boom when hit.

You can compare it to japanese aerial Type 91 (235 kg).  

In order to balance your proposal, all DDs would have get some insane reload speed buffs. So, weak torpedoes, but every 10 seconds. 

[PeteEarthling]

No idea how you can feel threatened by torps if there are 10 times as many BB as DD...

[mil71]

Wasn't it like 2 shells for every 300-400 battleship volleys would hit in reality?
