    Hi there!
    I wouldn't mind raising an odd occcurence on (I think) damage depot. I believe it's the north side of the map but definitely the pair on the right that I have the ones focused.

    What it is, is that torpedos have a tendency to sail straight through them. Unfortunately I don't have a screenshot showing it happening but it's nearly had me a few times!

    I think it's intentional. It prevents people from sitting behind them and spamming mortars (more than they usually do...). It seems smart if you look at it this way

    I think that can happen any time the water raises over a wall. You just can't sail over it

    No, it happens even waves are at their lowest. Keying to the point that it's intentional

    Oh okay. I've never seen it happen there. Only at crash and burn. So it was all an assumption.

    That would make sense if it applied to all of the pontoons but generally it doesn't as other pontoons block the torpedos. Equally the splash damage from torpedos impact behind barriers and the barrier is also ineffective against unfriendly mortars.

    If the intention is to allow torpedos to sail through would there be any point of having them there in the first place?

    Almost got it but just as an addition, that's a torpedo trail having just sailed through the pontoon.

    It sailed straight through, I don't believe the torpedo could/should go under the pontoons.

    Only swift torpedos go through objects

    Some one is imbuing swift torpedos with pixy dust! - I'm presuming this is an unintended bug in which case hopefully it will be resolved soon.

    I've seen it too. Big torpedo came many times not through them but between those bars. As their is a gap between them. And the gap is small, so u may see it rarely.
    Our team sunk soon enough even we hiding behind those bars with fixer due to continuous torpedo's shooting. And some were even passing between them.

    Yep, I saw it too. My first thought was because of the high wave. But then another one got through when the water is low.

    Yes, there is a very small gap. You may see it when the wave is very low. For fun: I may try sometime to pass the torpedo through this gap!

    With the replay option being available, I've managed to catch a gameplay where this occurred - hopefully it will be addressed in a later patch. Occurs near the unfriendly Electronic_D_B at the start within the first min - #YWQZNGYD
