TORPEDOES

[Kabul_Kid]

It's time that all the players in World of Warships got together and petitioned the game developers that a single aircraft launching a spread of SIX torpedoes is just Mickey Mouse.

 

 

 

 

 

As all of you know, torpedo bombers during WWII only ever carried 1 single torpedo per aircraft. This was true for the Axis and Allied powers.

 

I do not know of a single plane that carried 2 torpedoes.

 

And yet World of Warships have torpedo bombers that can launch SIX torpedoes no less !

This is just plain silly and does the game a big disservice.

It's very commendable how much research WoWS have done on the historical accuracy of the ships and yet it's completely nuts that they have torpedo bombers that can carry and launch 6 torpedoes in a single strike.

 

[wremise]

just set your grafics to high, then you will see, that there are 6 planes there, and not just one!

Cute.

 

Real cute.

Can you rub your head and your stomach at the same time as well ?

[Devantejah]

Just turn up the graphics.

Dear Kabul, let us take it one step at a time:

• Edit that red text please, before a moderator does that for you, also Vukking the whole thread in the process
• We are not to blame, nor WOWS or WG for your potato computer, or your lack of ability in setting up your graphics details correctly.
• Before posting such omfg, world just ended  style of threads, could we ask you  most respectfully to graze a bit on the forum, since this problem was discussed a lot of times before? Just as with Google, search is your friend.

Really.....just....really...

Theres a little cute checkbox with words writing "Animate small objects." to its right side in graphic settings tab. Wehn you check it magic will happen and that one plane will split into 4 or 6!! also your secondary guns will start to turn magically too!!

[Kabul_Kid]

Did I know that one isn't allowed to type in red .....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !

 

Did I know about animating small objects ...NOOOOOOOOO !

And as for my computer...why don't you people take a survey asking the players what kind of computers they're using. I'm sure you'll find that most of them are ....what was the insulting word you used.... "potatoes".

In fact Ecotech, you seem to appear as quite an arrogant so and so with a very belligerent attitude. And by the way, how do you know what kind of computer I'm using. Just because I didn't check the "animate small objects" box doesn't mean my computer is a "potato".

But I better not carry on because if there is one thing I've learned about online gaming it's that there are many players (or people associated with the game) who have very fragile egos.

Seyyah, thanks for the straight-forward helpful information.

Remember Ecotech gaming isn't real life.

If you would actually try to read the forum rules and be interested in how the game works you would know that red is not allowed and about the 'animating small objects'

 

if animate small object wasnt checked, it is because of your computer, as the game does default some grafic settings, dependent on your computers performance

 

not to forget, the Info is all over the forum, if you try to learn something before complaining

 

Now telling other people they are arrogant, while they, in a very good manner, tell you whats wrong here, i feel more like you are the ignorant/arrogant person, but i'm sure now you will tell that i am arrogant as well.

Sarcasm and humour can often be confused with arrogance and ridicule, especially in written text.

 

If you post on a forum, expect some level of all of these and respond accordingly...

 

otherwise you just end up angry, frustrated and butt hurt...

i am quite sure it is in the forum rules

you could have asked instead of blameing WG for everything and say we need to gather and do something with devs or whatever you said

 

your OP could have been something similar to this:

"Hey everyone i have a problem when i look at torpedo planes it seem that one plane is launching 4 or 6 torps i dont know if its a bug or working as intended, maybe i missed something any help would be nice"

 

i am quite sure that you would have got a lot more positive replies.

Oh, I know. I'd rather be cruising on the Honda than staring at the screen any day.

 

But it also goes down to attitude. The way you ask a question will greatly influence the way you receive an answer. And yes, while my answer was technically and topically correct, its tone was willingly sarcastic, just as your question seemed to beg for it.

 

As my business is tech support, I face daily questions in the same entitled tone as you have used, which are not only previously answered and documented in detail, but also no-brainers if you just happen to use a bit of common sense. After a while, the standard answer will become "read the f*cking manual", a solution older than computers themselves.

 

Bottom line: if you want us to play nice, you might want to lose the attitude.

Ppl already told ya that there are 6 planes in a squad for US carriers.

Here to your 2 torps a plane thing:

 

 

 

 

Not really carrier based BUT they existed

[Gunship14]

"Why is there a single plane launching 6 torpedoes in the game? Is that how it's supposed to be or is something wrong on my side?" would have been a better start to your thread. Maybe you could have avoided some of these negative replies...

[asxtc]

Lots of lessons learned i would suggest.

Wot red?

 

 

 

 

[hellhound666]

the awkward moment when you realize you've shown you stupidity ....

[Kabul_Kid]

Wow.

 

You people have such fragile egos.

 

So I asked that everybody petition World of Warships.

Obviously I had no idea.

And as for my attitude.....dude.....maybe you should read my last sentence again.

Here...I'll copy it for you just to save you the trouble of having to find it.

 

" It's very commendable how much research WoWS have done on the historical accuracy of the ships and yet it's completely nuts that they have torpedo bombers that can carry and launch 6 torpedoes in a single strike."

 

Does that appear to be the sentence of somebody with attitude ?

 

 

 

[twibs]

We got quite few pleas for torpedo nerfs. It just shows your lack of efforts at researching the matter before you come here and post about torpedo nerf.

 

Did I mention that we a lot of (noobs/newbs) coming here to ask for torpedo nerfs.

It's not that torps are that good. You can go game after game and not hit anything with them when you play your destroyers.

It's the fact that when you are hit the game is over and it usually feels like there was nothing you could have done about being hit.

Wargaming should go back and look at the design of DDs and Torp bombers, they do add a lot of frustration to the game.

I think the lesson learnt here is the fact that if you had posted a thread asking "Why does it appear that one plane drops 6 torpedoes?" then you would have got a much more respectful reply, explaining about the graphic setting and the fact its supposed to be 6 aircraft and that would have been that. Instead, you went off on one assuming that the game was bugged or broken, etc. 

 

It's the same on most forums i've been on, you get treated with the respect you have shown and to call a game that most people obviously love (and is FREE I might add) 'Micky Mouse' is just plain disrespectful and foolish. 

[Kveldulfson]

I don't tend to post a lot on these forums ( or any of the game forums to be fair ) but thought I would give my views on this issue / topic

So in my opinion the Torpedo issue is not that they have too much range or that they do too much damage.
However, when 70%  to 80%of the fleet composition are destroyers and torpedo launching cruisers ( Like some matches I played today) then I feel it does not work especially if your driving a Battle Ship.
 

The best matches I have played are those with a good mix of ships, 2 or 3 torpedo ships ( including carriers ) and the rest a mix of cruisers and battle ships. This mix I also think encourages more team work (not that I see a lot of that in the game so far lol ) And yes I also use torpedo's in cruisers and destroyers.

So from my point of view leave torpedo's alone but limit the ship types per match to allow a more balanced style of play​
 

 

 

[Fruitinator]

Kveldulfson: I am partially agreeing to your last post but as a BB captain myself i must disagree with you on some points. I agree that a "Good mix of ships" would be nice and in some respects better matchmaking but i feel that torpedoes are working as intended, they are not OP at all, its just a matter of experience.

 

After a while you will start to learn the ranges that diffrent ships has on their torps. And always.... Always assume that if a ship has torps and he is in range, he has launched them towards you. And dont sail in a straight line

 

Fruity away! *Flies off*

[Major__Klutz]

If you take the effort and look at the torp plane icon at the bottom of the screen, you will notice a figure. When you launch, this figure will be either '5' or '6' depending the upgrade you acquired. That figure is the number of airplanes in the squad. Every plane carries one torpedo. Comprende?
