yes and no....its very hard to make a succesful torp run and live if there are a lot of enemy planes around and if the cv has ppl in the 5in guns
Is there a tutorial somewhere or can someone post some basics?
Check
http://www.netaces.org I understand you want to be low and slow, but how low and how slow?
200mph or under and 200ft or under and depending on how far out you let the torps go you will have to lead the cv as much as a full boat length if say you let them go when the ack starts shooting at you.
I enjoy this aspect of the game for some reason but really never see my torpedo do anything because I'm usually dead immediately after dropping it.
if you die after you drop the torps...watch you text buffer....if you hit the cv you will get alot of messages telling you eather, and, GUN DESTROYED, SHIP DESTROYED, If you just get a bunch of gun destroyed messages it means you hit a boat but didnt distroy it. A ship destroyed message also could mean you distroyed a ship but it could mean you sunk a little support ship or the destroyer. If you get the SHIP DESTROYED message after you got killed and are in the tower. try typing on the country channel and asking if the cv is dead
Any help is appreciated.
