I want to watch my torpedoes.

[guncrasher]

Um... Has no one ever read the write-up for torpedo runs that give you consistant hits with no damage to you?

This does work pretty darn well...

However back to the point of the wish WEEEE I'm RIDING A TORP! ;D

Would be kinda nice if you could see your torps running in the water, but, guess that is asking to much!

+1, as an arena setting. I don't think this really has a place in the MA, but would be an invaluable practice tool offline or in the TA.

I agree that a torp cam would be awesome.

I killed around 60 cv and even got a few "cv and cruiser package deal" last tour.

It's dead simple once you drop torps, get into the 40mm gun and watch the torps behind you to figure out how fast they travel.

Once you know that and the speed of the cv, it's simple.

This is what a "two-fer" looks like.

  How about this:  Instead of watching the torpedoes run in real time, you can watch them in the film viewer. 

  In real life, it would be hard to watch torpedoes from an airplane, unless you were flying over the torpedoes, or you had the older version that left a very visible wake.  But if you could watch it in the film viewer, you could use it as a training aid, without taking away from the attempt at realism built into the game.  In the film viewer, I can watch the fight from the perspective of the enemy plane I am shooting at, so I can see how badly I am missing. We could have something similar for torpedoes.

There are the game aspects to consider.  Watching your torps head towards, and once in a blue moon hit, your target is entertainment worth $14.95/mo.  Sitting in the tower doing exactly nothing whatsoever for many minutes while you hope your torps are going to hit something: not so much.

very poor statement and argument while its not "real" its not taking anything away from the realism its just like going external in bombers...if u wanted to argue something that's "unreal"  is the fact all guns start shooting you instantly as well as radio proximity fuses(the 5" AA shells) were not introduced till late 1943 if i recall right so very few cv's would've had them so for the sake of "realism" its all there... ur just watching it from a dif angle

oh and also.... no CV would ever operate with arms/aircraft lift down another realism aspect for you(referring to the lift on the left side of CV)

One reason I'd really love to have the torpedo cam, at least in the film viewer,  is because I accomplished some obscure historical achievement having to do with sinking 2 ships with a single torpedo.

I can't imagine how that could happen, so I would love to see how I did it.

As for the delay on waiting if you hit something, Perhaps excluding air dropped torpedoes from the 'disappear when re-up' rule.  I can think of very few times when that could be abused.
