@Tomsk, how odd, never seen that before. Usually the torpedoes are too good, coming back to hit the sub itself. This is why I introduced a view scope limit of 45 degrees, I think? To prevent the torpedo from detecting anything behind it. Perhaps the target was no in front of the torpedo?

I'm trying to use these torpedoes but the Active mode doesn't appear to work. I hear the pings but torpedo sails straight past the target I've placed in front of it .. even though I've confirmed that I can see the target on active sonar.

@cllmsteele, sorry to hear that. As for the advanced mode, you can either:
A: Simply change the relevant values in the controller, to change heading, default depth, etc. with the select tool.
B: Pass through custom values through composite (channels outlined above), which means you can change them after the vehicle has spawned, instead of having to respawn it every time.

Though these torpedoes can be programmed to do most anything, they can be difficult to get the hang of at first. Fell free to ask if you have any more questions!

i havent played stormworks in a while and i wiped my computer, so me forgetting to backup my saves have caused me to lose all i had but ive built a new sub its more cleaner i just needed the torpedos but since i forgot how to do them im wondering if you or someone else could tell me the steps required to do the advanced usage of these torpedos

Of course, anytime.

ill try to do something then thank you for the help

Excellent question @cllmsteele. Very simply, just pass through the desired values using a composite write number controller through the hardpoint, to the torpedo. This allows for some interesting stuff, as in a torpedo fire computer and whatnot. I usually have a panel or something in all of my subs, so you can do some cool stuff like auto target selection, shooting behind you, and whatnot.

is there a guide to using the very advanced use form

oooo

Perhaps, @khunter3911. The big sub is a replica of Submarine No. 71, fastest submarine of ww2. Almost finished, in fact.

will the big sub be released on workshop?
