Torpedo Loading Times

[petethebeard]

Just starting playing World of Warships; and one thing that strikes me as unrealistic is the speed with which torpedoes can be reloaded.

 

Appreciate this is to enhance playability, but to me this detracts from the realism.  Does anyone know what the actual reload time should be.............which must have been pretty hazardous in battle conditions.

[bloomoon11]

Game is not realistic, it doesn't aim to be.

[warlock07rox]

Plus torps are way op do more damage than Bbs guns load faster and cant be spotted till too late

nah you are just a bad player

[warlock07rox]

 

nah you are just a bad player

 

Oh sorry mister stat whore but who gives a monkeys about stats im saying theyre faster reload than guns are harder to spot than gun fire and harder to dodge then gun fire so that's op .

[Tugnut]

I think sailing in a strait line for to long is UP

What game are you playing?

True sure is but even when you dodge if theres 2 or more it doesn't matter if your caught in a torp crossfire

They are slower than a battleship fire rate

They have around %10 or below %10 hit ratio

You can avoid them super easily

This game on low tiers torps load faster than BB guns

Then how come are dds and carriers so op in lower tiers if they so easily avoided and do no damage?

nope

[Exocet6951]

But it doesn't strike you as unrealistic that there are more battleships per battle than destroyers?

 

I'm all for having realistic, hour long reload for torps.....IF there are 5-8 destroyers for every battleship present.

And no more magical health potion repair ability.

And dive bombers are actually useful.

 

 

Basically, not cherry picking realistism to benefit your favorite class.

They are not OP their enemies are newbie. Newbies dont know how to dodge torpedoes properly including you

[Trainspite]

Plus torps are way op do more damage than Bbs guns load faster and cant be spotted till too late

 

Have a disproving glare from me and do some research, keep practicing avoiding them and learning how to anticipate them. They are by no means OP.

I don't have a fav class but a bit of realism would help in this game at least bbs have near enough theyre reload time torps load way to fast and do way more damage as well as dds being invisible half the time and when they are spotted a bb cant do anything about them (only went to lvl 6  so cant comment on higher tiers)

[Shaka_D]

My DD's torps take a minute to reload and the torps travel at 45 knots, how long do your guns take?

[Tugnut]

 

True sure is but even when you dodge if theres 2 or more it doesn't matter if your caught in a torp crossfire

 

 

very hard for DD to do.... only 2 or more wings of torp bombers can do that.... now i am going to tell you some thing... dont let the other players know shhhhh top secret... there is a minimap.... no one knows its there... look at it and you see planes heading towards you, it even tells you the class of aircraft.... looks round to make sure no ones reading this but us.....   now there is anouther OP part of the game... A D and Q E turn the ship OMG i said it shhh shhhhhh dont tell anywon on pain of a torp up the tailpipe.   so you see the torp planes and you can position your ship to the planes and try to keep it that way (its not fool proof as there no 100% way of avoiding torps all of the time) but it will mean the CV pilot has to put more effort in to hitting you and your AA has more time hitting there planes. and on a bad drop by the planes you should avoid all    win win.   like i said tell no one

You really have a thing for stats don't you I can load up my dds and get way more kills than using a low tier bb and as for carriers I hate them and don't play em but BBs are basically large floating xp pots for dds and cvs in low tiers

God you are so funny so I suppose u so uber you never get sunk ? Sometimes you just get in a situation where u are along and cvs and dds just own you while with other ships you can at least do something and low tier aa is laughable if your ship actually has it

[HatsuzukiKaiNi]

 

This game on low tiers torps load faster than BB guns

 

The few that do are also the slowest torpedoes in the game and rather easy to dodge.

you dont konw how this gmae works at all. Letm e break it to you. killing a DD from %100 health gives same exp and credit compared to killing a BB from %100 health

BBC ​Breaking News:  

 

Today at 4 o clock a WOWS player called torpedos OP comparing them with the avg dmg outpout and rate of fire of a BB.The severity of his accusation caused much laughter in the forums with celebrations occuring worldwide.

 

News anchors all over the world tell this player to try the 2:30 torpedo reload time of Shimakaze before comparing it to the 30 sec reload of Yamato.They also try to convince him that even a small misjudgement will make the torps miss.

 

"Still a very funny story indeed David. This is Mister_Greek for the BBC News.Have a nice evening"

Because torpedoes, weapons with hit rates at low as 5-10% (in low tier) and even less in high tier should be non-damaging pillow launchers?

 

Torpedoes at very low tier reload too fast, that's true, but not by a huge margin. They could do with 15-20 more seconds, but not the 5-10 minutes the OP seems to be implicitely pushing for.

And they certainly do not reload faster than BBs' main guns.

The very fastest reload is 2.7 per minute on the very first tier2 torpedoes that are mostly harmless with their speed and range.

 

By the time you get to tier3, you only have 1.5 salvoes per minute, compared to the much more standard 2 salvoes per minute of BBs.

By the time you get to tier6, BBs still have around 2 salvoes per minute while torps barely get to reload (not even fire) once every 2 minutes.

 

And if that's not enough, consider this, guns have more range than torpedoes.

Destroyers and torp cruisers basically never fire their torpedoes as fast as they reload, while guns almost always fire as soon as they reload.

 

So no, torpedoes not OP.

Bad players UP.

[Black_Sheep1]

No they are not. The torpedos are not the issue, it is your ability to play your ships. There was a nice table where it was listed how much time you have to react if you see torps, which was around 10 seconds+. So if that is not enough you are to slow.

 

Pro Tip. Not sailing in a straight line all the time in zoom mode might help to see them earlier. And if you see Torpedo Bombers or Destroyers at the map which might head into your direction you should be prepared that they shoot torpedos at you anyways. But gladly a good deal off BB players seems to ingnore the minimap and anything around them.
