One of the more fun missions I have been on

It came with one of the newer patchs, I don't remember how it was worded exactly but it's something alone these lines.

Anything considered ordnance will disappear if the person who dropped said ordnance begins a new sortie.

In other words if you were to drop torps. bail, and re-up before the torp. has time to collide with the ship or something it would just automatically disappear.

I don't believe that torpedos disappear when the vehicle that dropped them dies.

Last night or the night before I took off from a CV to find a PT boat about 2k out in front of the cv group.  I immediately killed it.  The guy driving it was Lynx.  A short time later (less than a minute) the cruiser died.  Then the CV died.  The guy had unloaded his torpedos, and because of my ground detail settings I hadn't seen any wakes, so hadn't turned the CV group.  His torpedos had clearly survived his PT boat's death.

I've had torpedos kill ships after my TBM died many times in the past, but this thing with Lynx was since the latest update, so it's still that way.

It doesn't disappear if you die.  It does dissapear if you start a new sortie.

Lynx made sure to ask his squadies in the area if the torps had hit or were past the CV prior to re upping. Torps stay active until you re up , they dont disappear when you die

Some of the 80th met up with another squad off the MA map and had a nice B26 dogfight. Was really hard flying and laughing so hard. I ended up as the only one left standing. some of the other folks that went down actually upped fighters to come escort me all the way back to base.
