[MPTV] DominusEdwardius Beta Tester 324 posts 2,096 battles Report post #251 Posted July 13, 2016 (edited) The 8km Type F3 torpedoes have quite a bit worse detection and a higher reaction time than the Mark 17 torpedoes of the Gearing (I posted some torpedo reaction time tables in the Kagero torpedo thread). With Torpedo acceleration on the gearing torpedoes it increases this difference even more (you'd have to be pretty foolish or pretty brave to use torp acceleration on the F3s).

Userext Beta Tester 5,342 posts 2,957 battles Report post #252 Posted July 13, 2016 Kagero can equip the torpedo reload booster so you can output 16 torpedoes in one attack (same torp stats as Fubuki) It's just more spiky. Who cares about fubuki? compare kagero to fletcher not to fubuki. There is no excuse out there for fletcher to be that more powerfull than kagero Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[OM] ghostbuster_ Players 4,996 posts 21,846 battles Report post #253 Posted July 14, 2016 Wrong. Gearing torps have 1.4km detection, Shima/Kag 8km do have 1.9km which is the same as Shima 12km torps. I remember that short range topedoes have betterdetection than 12 km ones but maybe im mistaken.

[OILUP] WhiskeyWolf Beta Tester 1,491 posts 11,683 battles Report post #261 Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) It's really disheartening when you toss all your fifteen torps on a unsuspecting Zao only for it to leisurely turn and then evade between all three waves. Yeah, no problem with everybody being able to see your torps 1.9 parsecs away. Edited July 14, 2016 by WhiskeyWolf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
