Title: How do you launch torpedos from a TBM-3 Avenger?
Post by: OSU on September 08, 2007, 03:15:48 PM

I was playing AH2 today when I found the enemy carrier and I decided to sink it using a torpedo from a TBM-3, but there was one problem, I didn't know how to use the torpedo! I was wondering if you did use the bombsight or if you didn't use it for torpedos. If anyone could tell how to use torpedos it would be greatly appreciated.  Aso, can anyone tell me how to not get shot down by a carrier group's anti-air guns?
Happy flying!

Another tip is practice offline.....as soon as you drop go to external view...check to make sure you see a torpedo wake ...that means that you did the drop correctly

....the nice thing about doing this offline is you can practice 20 drops in an hour ....each time make sure the torpedo was running....this method helped me get it together
