OdinGrunherze Sir, are you saying the Destroyers had to go 3000 miles back to port to reload torp tubes? Because I'd have a very hard time believing that.

Yes I speak the truth, really, no kiddin.... There was replenishment at sea.. But I've never heard of them doing that with Torp's....

The thing that was so revolutionary about the Jap Fubuki's was the Torp reloads... 24in long lance too... The best in the world, at the time...

I was just doing a little research, some of their later DD's had 17 tubes...
Plus reloads... WOW....

No BS man...

Yes as far as the burning ships I didnt mean to say from torp hits although Im sure some torp hits caused fire. Basically any ship that gets hit by ord would be cool to burn. The tall smoke idea would be nice too.

   Nothings says we couldnt have the Kagero DD instead of the Fletcher :)

DD GUNS!

I'd rather see the DDs get 5" guns than torpedo tubes - what are they going to shoot torps at?  PTs??  As it is now, the 40mm on the PT boat gives them the gunnery advantage against the DDs mannable 20mms.  Give the DDs 5" guns fore & aft and let them be mannable - it improves the ack cover for the CV group, and lets them fight it out with the PTs.

I honestly didn't realize that the DD's in the game, have no main guns... I just went and looked, WOW they don't...LOL, thats sooooo funny....:rofl
Guns and Torps for the DD's... YES!!!
Someday, I hope that they address that problem... Among others...

I hope that if guns and torps are ever added to the DDs, that they separate the fleets into battle groups where you can have some good gun / torp action.

What the task group needs is the ability to make a  smoke screen.

If a smoke screen can be done without nuking framerates, I'm all for it.

Definately...the Sherman can do it for the tanks...why not PTs for the fleet. It already has a smoke generator on the stern.  Id say the DEs too but there is so little control of them.
