Title: PT Boat practice?
Post by: texasfighter on October 14, 2012, 03:41:20 PM

How do you practice with a PT Boat in the TA? There are no targets that I can find. Do you have to practice it offline and will there be any target ships there?

You can up a PT at a friendly CV task group, get some separation and practice attack runs on it. You could do that in the TA, but even better would be to set up your own custom arena. After creating your arena, you can go to arena setup and uncheck "protect objects" - that way you can hit (and sink!) your own units. You could also change ownership of the task group you just launched from, that way you would get fired upon for a more realistic practice setting.

Thanks Lusche! One more little question: ah, how do you fire those torpedos?

Fire secondary weapon (Joystick button assigned or Key B) from main driver position.
