    Okay before asking its buff, Let me make this clear i scrapped 2 epics and 7-8 rare tri torps(of course before quest updates). Now coming to the point, the weapons has lost its credibility every since the nerf. We all have tri torps quests and we know how difficult they can be. So,let's try to improve this weapon. I had this idea, temporary slow down (similar to carronade, but much less in intensity) on hitting the torp(like 20% at max) which will make a good area control too. Idk how much it's used in nightmare, but lot of people believe the weapon isn't good enough currently

    Vary the speed of the torps so that each torp has a different speed. Make it a much more unique weapon

    Maybe they start converging after some distance? So any camper can get a full 3x blow

    To me the real problem is that usually only 1 hits the target you are aiming for. So to me it feels like I have an under powered single torpedo. I know in theory each can hit a target, but if it does it was by luck, not design. I would like to see the tri-torps be shot more parallel for a start. the spread can be so brutal at long distances, which I get. I want the wing torps to at least have a chance of hitting a moving target. Maybe the torp can wait to split once it passes the activation point? This would be major damage to a close target!

    Here is a suggestion, that revamps things. The triple torpedo should fire 3 small torpedoes in succession with a small delay between. This will allow a stationary target to have the potential to be hit with all 3. If the target was strafing, the lock-in function would follow the target and shoot each torpedo as best it can which will give each shot a distinct path verse a moving target. If you are firing it manually, you can fire, flick, fire, flick, fire and send them in a spread. To be fair, each torpedo should be about 1/3 of the damage of a big torp. Thus for 2 points it can do the same great damage a big torp does, but gives you some map control and the ability to hit maybe one of the 3.

    That is way too complex. I think my suggestion works best by having 3 seperate speeds for the torps while still being fired at the same time. This can allow for targets to more likely get hit if the try to dodge.

    I agree there are at least 2-6 ppl that use Tri torp In night -mare that is good. Sure there are some that uses tricks torp in night mare but only a few reach high rank with it. The only person I see high rank is /S\. I believe this weapon needs a buff, so that way there will be more ppl using different set ups instead of the NORM.

    Your idea is good too, but it is not as simple as you make it sound. What 3 speeds? More or less than a swift? Remember that torpedo perks can boost speed, so this would need to be considered. The 3 speeds would need to be dramatic or else everyone is getting hit with all 3.

    I think a little "speed" buff and 1 second decrease in cool down would be all it needs to make it a more used weapon.

    Quite slow, if you want to make tri torp effective as a speeding torp, Speed should be 5+ minimum. SWIFT can go 9+

    ??? What are you talking about.... You guys liked my idea of having different speeds for each torp so this is what is most realistic. WTF do you want 5+ are you crazy? Upgrade the talent trees with 4 epic 9% perks and you can have 4.3, 4.8 and 5.3

    Swift torp goes up to exactly 9.0 speed with only crew training.

    Swift torp is doing its job being fast. Triple torps are not supposed to be fast. My suggested speeds should be perfect ranging from big torp speed at slowest to halfway to swift torp at fastest

    Lol i don't want to make it as fast as swift, but if you want speed improvements in tri torps then by keeping it around 3 you change nothing at all. My uncommon tri torp are 4.3 already(without speed perks)

    Again what the heck are you talking about? I said to change the speed so every torp has a different speed. Never said i wanted to make speed improvements. Does that imply to you that i want faster speeds? LOL Having varied speeds is already a huge change and will make dodging harder. I really don't get why you want it to be faster. Even when you compare it to an uncommon swift torp. YOU ARE comparing it to a swift torp still LOLOLOL

    I got what exactly you were trying to convey, i just wanted a speed buff added to your idea,so speed difference margin between three torps high(i wont explain it in detail, because i doubt it will penitrate your thick head) .Anyways i know you think your idea is the best, and people can read what you write very clearly. So instead of taunting,share something constructive. I don't want this thread locked

    No bud, you fail to explain the need to the speed margin to be high. Having a speed margin alone is enough. You are just being greedy asking for it to be high and closer to a swift torp. Are you scared it is not going to be noticeable or something? Bigger margin also means the slowest speed will go slower than 3 and thats not gonna work. 3, 3.5, 4 is always gonna be better than , 2, 3.5, 5.

    Triple torpedo can go die and delete itself from the game. I wasted all my challengers league rewards, blood, sweat and tears on level 20 only to have it betray me and not give me a third dupe until Ace1.

    Now that it's gone I don't miss it at all. My raffle has an epic tritorp and I'm not spinning that crap this week.
    No hard feelings at all :D.

    I literally could care less about the tri-torp until this morning when I completed my first legendary weapon and what do you know... karma is a b****. Now I'm in the same boat, wtf do I do with a tri-torp :eek: "Searches for tri-torp posts, proceeds to give 'constructive' feedback so the dev's can make it not suck." Flashes forward 6 months... tri-torp still sucks. GG
