    a few times in the past days ive been bewildered about torps that dont seem to explode or do damage to enemy targets in close range. torpedo wake just disappears, no explosion, no damage. ive watched my replays and can confirm. doesnt happen all the time. anyone else seen anything like it?

    The red part of the aiming line is the the arming distance, and if you try to hit a ship with a torpedo while your enemy is in the red part of the line, the torpedo won't do damage, since the torpedo is not armed yet. The green part of the aiming line is where the torpedo can do damage, since it is now armed.

    (Remember: red line=no damage. green line=lots of damage!)

    Well at least you know now!!
    If an enemy is too close to hit with the torp, sometimes you can use other nearby obstacles, like walls or friendly boats to hit which will give the torp time to arm :)
    Another good trick is to switch to your torp and fire quickly, as if you have the torp selected, the unfriend can see you have the big torp so will deliberately stay close so you cant use it.

    Torpedoes can also go through Tesla shields. Also, don't worry about not knowing stuff about torps, @Eeyore , me, and many other torp specialists on the forum are here and willing to help! :)
