OMG! Torpedoes!

[Rolex]

Hehe...

A torpedo clinic!

When:  August 13 (Monday) 9:30 pm - 11:00 pm US EDT
Where:  Training Arena. Meet at field A1 (Bishop)

Hitting a fleet with torpedoes and landing to talk about it is not a random act. Learn the system and you can enjoy a career as an Aces High Master Torpedo Bomber. Learn the secrets without having to do the math, and we'll even bust some myths about torpedoes in Aces High.

I believe this will be the first torpedo clinic ever held. A one-time event for people looking to learn something new and even a little obscure.

Suitable for basic through advanced-level players. You must have a working controller and rudimentary knowledge of the game.

Please sign me up - flew a TBM 1st time day B4 yesterday - great plane. Looking forward to dropping a torpedo - never tried! I can imagine the geometry solutions are tricky - an given what I understand abt how low and slow you need to go to drop a "fish" - must be a sitting duck!

Looking forward to it - again, <>

I'll try to make it.

(I took up Ki's and sunk a CV w/torps...was fun)

[ArtooD2]

Will we be practicing a particular plane ?

[John Curnutte]

I think it would be great to have some info on torps ,I dont think they are used enough,it would definatly add a new aspect to carrier operations if more torps were used. What kind of range do they have,what alt. and speed do they need to be dropped at, is there a differance between jap and american torps, while attacking at a 90deg. angle to the ship how much lead to you give to have a good shot at a hit?? Many many questions

We'll have as short discussion to answer all those questions, then do runs with each of the 4 planes that carry torps.

I believe everything...dropping them right...your lead on the target...everything

Would someone mind recording the session for those that may not and cannot attend?

Donkey,
the session is scheduled from 9:30: - 11:00, a 1&1/2 hour session - enormous film. Even if it were recorded, I'm not sure where you would be able to post anything that size.

i could use some torp training. The only way I kill cvs with torps is when ours die and i launch 400 torps from a pt.
