I have seen pictures of Torpedo test from WW2 on stationary vessels of all shapes and cargo loads, the German Magnetic torpedoes where designed to be fired below the ship and detonate generally under the spine of the ship, this generally causes Small freighters to DIE horribly and quickly. the other thing i would like to ask about is when i took out a BB and it look like i took out is aft magazine. For all the people who don't know this Battleships generally carry enough munitions to equal twice that of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki Nuclear bombs. which means for those of us whom are Ignorant NO MORE Ship and collateral damage to near by ships, just look at the pictures of the HOOD 3 main chunks over miles, 3 survivors out of a crew of thousands.
I'm sorry that i babble on but if you want to make it more realistic at least the torpedoes should work right.
P.S. deck guns as well, also need to do more damage to unarmored ships.

Well....., I certainly don't know anything of the sort!!! ….Your assertion is absurd!For all the people who don't know this Battleships generally carry enough munitions to equal twice that of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki Nuclear bombs.
The Hiroshima bomb had a yield of 15 Kilotons: ….That’s the equivalent of 15,000 TONS of TNT!!
The Nagasaki bomb had a yield of 21 Kilotons. The total yield of both bombs was 36 Kilotons; ……and when we double that, we come up with 72,000 tons of TNT.
The example ship you sited, the HMS Hood, had a total loaded displacement of 48,000 tons: …..HOW COULD IT POSSIBLY BE CARRYING THE EQUIVALENT OF 72,000 TONS OF TNT???

I think the point the orignal poster was trying to point out was that a magazine shot should tear a warship apart. Even a battleship. Look at the Arizona a direct detonation of a bomb in the powder room basically destoryed the ship and sank her. I would personally like to see a magazine torpedo hit on a battleship rip or atleast buckle the hull there. I would also like to see the belt armor being implimented. I didnt like seeing a torpedo blow a clean hole through the side of battleships like the Kongo or the Yamato where you could clearly see inside the hull. These ships as far as I know had belt armor like US Ships and like Bismarck.Originally posted by socko2009:
Thanks Mav!!!
It really pained me to point that out: .....Because you KNOW how much I like large explosions!!!

But god I would like to see a warship like a battleship go up with twice the power of those two atom bombs lol.
