    I played torpedoes, i have a rare triple torpedo. But the thing i was talking about is that the (normal) torpedo damages ships up to 1000, im at 900 to 1100 infamy and you can easily injure a low health ship with a torpedo. Also the skill you are talking about is easy to learn (for me).

    Dodging spammed torpedoes isn't even that hard. And that's coming from a guy who mains a shooter with a rare turbo and big shield.

    Lol yes easy very easy. Get up in the ladder and you will know how hard it is to hit with a snail speed big torp.

    Uerguy and Shadow Moon, i forgot that you guys are at high infamy. I have teammates that trigger a torpedo explosion thus us getting affected. I want to have my mk5 and escape 1300 infamy. Also consider that you guys have more experience than me since you started earlier and i temporarily stopped. Also im not used to torpedo attacks since 1k infamy players suddenly used a lot of torpedoes

    That is what we all are trying to say you. You'll learn it eventually how to play against torpedo users. Nerfing an item because you're getting killed by it isn't fair. One time we all were frustrated by mortar spam but eventually we learned how to counter it.

    And to counter a torpedo, don't stay too close to your mate so as you will receive huge collateral damage. Mind your surroundings don't be close to walls or ship wrecks. Always change position unpredictably so opponents can't predict your movement and lead their shot.

    You just want torps to be beyond overpowered.

    OT: I think big torpedo needs a small radius nerf. That's all. I hate how in that one level with the pipes, if a torpedo hits the wall from one side, you get hit on the other. There's is absolutely NO WAY to even see the torpedo.

    No I am happy about the current torpedoes it was just a response to a stupid statement someone made. Yeah big torp needs tiny nerf in splash radius not much but little bit.

    Swift torps are the equivalent of regular mortars, big torps are the equivalent of a Big Bertha, and triple torps are the equivalent of missile launchers. In terms of blast radius, they are the same. What makes them different is their difficulty of usage.

    Actually, what makes them different(and terrifying) is the ability of a good torp user. I literally made a speeder nitro away from my frost blaster (whilst getting hit by it) only to get hit by the big torp I'd shot to his right beforehand. If you have only one opponent and the time required for prediction, you can be an expert at it. I'm not. But I'm getting there. As speeder main, torpedoes are NOT weapons to be overlooked. They maintain surprise on your side.

    Lol, I once had a speeder sitting still. For some reason, I shot my torp in front of him a couple units. When my torp was just about to pass him, he nitro'd into it!

    First of all, I'm a shooter main. And second of all, shooters can't use nitrous.

    You misunderstand. I'm talking about those idiots who:
    1.Are noobs.
    2.Get an epic nitrous.
    3.Then decide to take out their speeder which they haven't used, EVER, and then decide to use a mk3 at 1200+ infamy. With that epic nitrous.
