    I sunk 3 ships with 1 torpedo, however I didn't get the achievement Death from Below.

    Upon watching the replay, it appears that the third kill was due to the torpedo burning perk, however the kill still registers as torpedo.

    Link for replay: https://replay.battlebay.net/FRJKLPVT#KNQMVYTX

    Hopefully there is a way to rectify this.

    PS : Really enjoying the new team death match.

    Many thanks.

    Perk is pretty powerful. Got a rare one but hoping for an epic if I reach 50 stars.
    From the replay, it looks like it does around 10% damage each second for 5 seconds, so for big torpedo it's quite good.

    Interesting predicament. I can see both sides of the argument here:

    Two with the direct hit and one with the burning damage is in fact "one torp, three kills."

    but

    I've had enough situations where I float a Firebomb onto someone's head at nearly full HP, then my teammates absolutely barrage them for 95% of their health - and my little tick of burning damage goes "Ding!" and steals the kill. Hardly feels like I earned it in that case.

    I can say I'll pass it on up to the devs, but I can't say which side of the argument they'll land on. It's a tough balance.

    But for now, enjoy that burning torpedo perk. As you stated, it does 10% of the impact damage and burns for 5 seconds (although I've only seen four ticks, perhaps the first one is built into the initial hit?) so it's a huge boost to your deadliness. Hope you managed to grind out your Epic in time!

    Thanks for the response.

    I understand what your saying, and you could apply that logic to any kill. The splash of a torpedo/explosive cannon, or a mortar radius splash.

    I'm guessing the achievement would count for a mortar whether the 3 enemies had 1hp each or 1k hp each. A kill is a kill.

    Yea I like the perk. I lucked out and got a legendary one which I am really pleased.
