Torpedo Issue!

I am a hard torp user especially big torps.
It is almost impossible to land torpedoes now.
I rarely land some torps by accident!
I love shooter and speeder. When I'm taking frost torp on my speeder I rarely hit one torp and the next second I'm dead!
This extra agility is ruining my torp combo.
I am very good at aiming torps and now it is hell for me! My T4 Epic Torps are now useless!
I can't play this game with all cannon!
I know the projectile has increased a bit but still it is not effective at all!

Devs, Please Fix This ASAP!

 

What do you mean by increased projectile thou ?

 

+10% projectile speed for all torps

 

I use torps on my main shooter setup.
It's so easy to avoid them now. (Defenders can easily avoid torps now.)
Agility was increased 100% to 200% for some ships. Projectile speed was only improved by +10%.

The problem is that most players are used to old enemy agility/torp projectile speed, so some players are missing majority of their shots. It might take them some time to get used to this new projectile speed/agility.
I don't face any problem with my torps now. It's harder to hit far targets than what it used to be before 3.2, since enemies have enough time to notice/avoid the torp.
Here are some tricks to land more torps:
For Far targets:
• Throw torps towards grouped enemies: Specially if there is a fixer. He will be busy healing his teammates, and he won't have time to notice ur incoming torp)
• Aim for shipwrecks, floaters, walls... It might be hard to hit a far enemy using a big torpedo now, so take advantage of his mistakes. Use splash dmg against him.
• Control ur enemies while throwing the torpedo: If you have any fire bomb/ mortars/ swift torp/ anything can be helpful to keep ur enemies next to a wall or to distract them. (railgun can be useful to keep ur enemies in low waves, so it will take them more time to notice the incoming torpedo).

For close targets:
• Make sure to hit ur enemy with an unexpected torpedo: Don't throw torps towards the enemy if ur not 100% sure that it will hit them (Just for close targets). Let him get into a safe distance, then let him eat your torpedo. Don't take too much time while aiming! Remember this is a surprise to your enemy, so make sure to predict his movements before selecting the torpedo. If he see a torp on your ship before getting into the safe distance or if it takes you too long to throw the torp towards him, then you will be in trouble. Again, don't give him any hint that you're going to throw a torp.
• Anything can be useful for splash dmg: use ur teammates, shipwrecks, walls... to hit your enemy.
• If you're a pro with torps and if you can hit an enemy without a clear vision on him: Stay in low waves, so u can make sure that he is behind a high wave. Now, it will be so easy to hit ur target, since he can see your ship, so you have enough time to predict his movements.

 

Ok i was not aware of it, but where does it say that ?

 

It was added to Sinklair talents.

So we are not getting any more projectile speed on torps a that's what are you saying?

 

No, we will probably get a dmg + torp projectile speed perk in the next event.

This boy isn't maxed out yet.

 

I just hope so!
It would be awesome to play if they fix some unbalanced thing and make the game more balanced than ever!
Thanks For The Info

 

I don't know if u checked the survey that I created couple days ago.
There was a specific part of my survey addressing some specific weapons.
(Torps-Mortars-... slow projectile weapons + long range weapons Railgun-Sniper-...)
I collected general feedback of ppl about these specific weapons and how their accuracy was affected.
I noticed a huge drop in long range accuracy for 87% of players...
This is a small sample of the feedback.

 

Devs must look at this sample and should have some serious discussions!

 

I already shared data with devs

 

Hope to get some good news ASAP!
