Title: Torpedo Gunsight
Post by: SPOON7 on March 24, 2005, 02:24:25 PM

Would it be possible to have some sort of torpedo gunsight available for PT boats and Planes.  something that could tell you if you have the right angle on the ship. if that is not possible, maybe a  sight available in the training arena or offline. similar to the dive bombing site.

Torps are easy. Just aim for your target, be BELOW 200' and below 200mph, and let em loose. Bout it. If you're trying to bomb with them, they aren't going to work and you'll never hit anything.

Also, there is a sighting method for using torps.  It differs from plane to plane but the basic concept is the same.  Line up your target at a wright angle(90 degree).   Be sure to lead the target sufficiently for the range you are at to target as torpedoes take quite a bit of time to swim.  Remember to stay low and slow during release.  Once released do not dally, go to full burn and disengague.  If you lead the target just right, you can release your fish before you are even in flak range. :rofl

Hope that helps :)

Along the same lines, it would be nice to have an elevation indicator for the rocket launchers on the PT. Those rockets would fly a known distance based on the angle they were fired at. We should have something more realistic to help us launch them more effectively.
