Removing torpedoes from the game would not suddenly make BB less passive. Heck even fear of hits by BB guns make them passive (bow camping). The whole "torpedoes make BB passive" is a fallacy. The game is about to get a whole lot less interesting. My concern with deep water torpedoes begins and ends with the fact that, in a battle that involves PA DDs, battleship camping and passive play will not only be validated, but will become necessity. Still would rather see extremely low torpedo detection as an alternative personally though. I'm not salty, I'm just kind of baffled by this gimmick's introduction to the game tbh.Įdited as people pointed out that cruisers will no longer have an immunity, I am slow to the party. Doesn't change detection from spotter planes or hydro, makes cruiser screening important again. Drop the detection value of the fish from a low but scary number (Gearing's 1.3km) to ridiculous, like 0.8km. If the goal was to have a destroyer line well equipped to take out battleships dominating the server numbers, it'd be easy to retain regular torpedoes for that effect. Less so than the DD combat though, that's what's scaring me off the line right now. Furthermore I don't feel like memorizing the hull depth of cruisers as yet another variable in the torpedo attack process, I imagine the frustration of having a perfect spread go under a cruiser because it was one of the exceptions as a source of frustration. ![]() This puts the line at a huge disadvantage when fighting regular torpedo equipped enemy destroyers in close combat. ![]() Now I know that radar will be thrown into the mix but I vastly prefer sinking enemy DD's by torping their smoke when they get complacent. The upcoming Pan-Asian ships were of interest to me until I popped onto the wiki and saw: "Unlike the torpedoes mounted on other destroyers, these fish are set to run at depths of 5-6 meters, meaning that enemy destroyers cannot take hits from them conversely, they are highly lethal to all opposing battleships and carriers, as well as most enemy cruisers." ![]() So I've been looking forward to a new destroyer line since I hit the Gaede and didn't want to go further with ze Germans.
