In the attached screen shot, a pair of my torps can be seen travelling from left to right, just right of centre. A short time before this screen shot was taken, I observed these two torps pass through a French DD of the Rapiere-class. Despite having actually passed through the image of the DD, both torps just carried on going. I thought they had missed, but no. A few seconds later, the log was updated stating that the enemy ship had in fact taken a torpedo hit. So one of these two fish must have made contact with the ship, but just carried on going! Is this the first detection of a pass through hit by a torpedo? Or am I unknowingly using 23rd century technology in the form of Quantum Tunnelling Torpedoes, that have the ability to tunnel through a screening ship, in order to get at a more valuable target behind it?

The ships graphics are enlarged on purpose.
So in reality ship does not occupied whole space on map as seen by graphical representation.
In case of not idetified ships it is even more true.
You would not like to play game with small dots. ;-)

When your torpedoes hit something, they dont. And when AI torpedoes miss something, they dont. |

When your torpedoes hit something, they dont. And when AI torpedoes miss something, they dont. I don't have a horribly unequal experience hitting things or being hit by torpedoes. But I do experience that in invasions. I have 100+ strength in Southeast Asia and my opponent has literally no ships there? "Invasion delayed due to unsure margin of advantage". I have 150 strength in the Mediterranean and my opponent has 160, in winter? Sure, go on ahead, the coast is clear! |

I have 150 strength in the Mediterranean and my opponent has 160, in winter? Sure, go on ahead, the coast is clear! My CLs are zig zagging some 8km behind enemy cruiser. That cruiser has a single rear torpedo launcher. How often do you think he will hit? Well, apparently always. Whereas my DD with 3x4 tubes launches a whole broadside at enemy BB at 5km. How many hits? Well, mostly 0, sometimes 1. |

Don't feed the Trolls. They just get bigger and more numerous.

Unhelpful answer that is completely inaccurate: Actually, a screening ship is mostly wood, which might not stop a torpedo. Whereas the Capital Ship is steel, which stops the torpedo. It gets more complicated when you realize some torpedoes are detonated by magnetic detection, AKA the steel in the Capital Ship and NOT the wood in the screening ship. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_pistolSo 20th century technology could result in the torpedo missing the screening ship and hitting the capital ship. It was even intentional! |
