I must give thanks to Jedi, for it was his dam buster bomb idea that inspired me to do this. And I must give thanks to Nat for he fixed the spinning plane problem and provided me with the torpedo model. Last but not least I must give thanks to Aladar who tested the early stages of the torpedo for me.

Enjoy and PLEASE give me feedback.

You can find it under the Fixes/Small Projects section of my page.

Great work on the torpedo. It is a great addition to sdoe.

For us loadout.ppf challenged folks, can you please post a section of the loadout with all the changes to allow the torpedo to work.

Thanks,
Condor out

At the start of the weapons loadouts, there are a bunch of loadout options in quotes.

Example: (ordLoadouts "Guns" "HeavyBombing" "Blanks")
To this list add "Torpedo" as an option.

Now to make a whole new Torpedo loadout, copy a bomb loadout and paste it at the bottom. Make sure to include the 3 ending braces. Now at the start of this copied bomb loadout.... look for something like this: (ordLoadHeavyBombing

HeavyBombing is the name of the load option. Delete the HeavyBombing part and add Torpedo so it reads like this now: (ordLoadTorpedo

Then, in that now new Torpedo loadout, look for a line that reads: ordName '(Whatever the bomb mount is)

After that, delete everything behind it and paste this:

ordClass 'Bomb ordModel 'gerTorp ordWeight 2000 ordWarhead 0 ordNumber 1 ordRippleDelay 200))

Then save and exit. Now open up a mission in the mission editor and select the Torpedo loadout.

If youve tried all of this and still cant get it to work, e-mail me the loadout.ppf file and I'll be more than happy to fix it up for ya.

Right now with the v1 and v2 torpedos (v2 to be released soon after it is smoothed and more people have inputed their thoughts on it) number 2 and number 3 reasons work. If my torpedo hits at a wrong angle it wont detonate and if it doesnt have enough room to arm (actually, it doesnt really arm, the obHits has to lower.... but it acts like it didnt have enough time to arm) it wont detonate. And if your drop it at too high a speed and a wrong angle, it will blow up on impact.

"If my torpedo hits at a wrong angle it wont detonate and if it doesnt have enough room to arm (actually, it doesnt really arm, the obHits has to lower.... but it acts like it didnt have enough time to arm) it wont detonate."

Those torpedos that did not explode were duds because of these factors: 1. They had a faulty triggering mechanism 2. They didnt have enough time to arm and 3. They hit at the wrong angle.

"Dud" is the correct word. A dud basicly means something that didnt work for whatever reason.

Also with my torpedo, if you drop it at the wrong angle it will sometimes just go under and not explode. This is a VERY rare occasion with the v2 torpedo. Ive only had it happen to me 3 times so far.

P.S. Have you played with the released version of the torpedo? If so and you have not experienced a dud torpedo yet, you are one darned good shot.
