Working DD torpedos

[Arlo]

Beautiful job on the DD torp tubes!





Is there a plan in the works to make them functional?

+1, with extra points if we get to spawn our own Destroyers to fire the torpedoes.
Full helm control, unified AA fire control, main gun director control. FULL control!

Greyhounds of the fleet!

+1. Since we have Fletcher Class DD, they should have working torpedoes.

you don't get points for killing a fleet with another fleet, why should we get points for killing ships with DD torps

Plus if 2 players hit say same carrier with DD torps who gets the perk points-it's the same reason you don't get points for killing ships with ships.

I don't care about points!

I don't care about points!

Amen, brother!

ok points don't matter-who gets the kill does for a lot of people.
fleets have cruisers-pt boats-torpedoe planes-land based bombers-dive bombers-don't need extra ships to hunt or fight cv groups.

What extra ships?

I'd rather have a working TDC on the PT boats.   Even if it is just an angle calculator and range finder worked into a pair of binoculars. 

Torpedoes are another aspect of this game that need some love.   A little balancing on drop speed / torpedo speeds to reflect that CV groups are always running around at 33 knots.

Same concept of if 2 players shot the same plane or if 2 players bomb the same ship and so forth...

Don't get me wrong, it would epic to man the torpedo launcher on the DD as well, but without a working torpedo data computer or angle site, the chance of scoring a hit is miniscule.

How do PT boats manage?  But, yes, I would further recommend a sight gauge and perhaps a gyro setting apparatus.

Could utilize a system similar to what is in World of Warships, just without the white lead indicator, and having a key command for switching between single fire and full salvo, narrow or wide.
