[2022] How to Dodge Homing Torpedoes

Thank you for doing this! Very helpful presentation for folks~

I've already made a suggestion quite a while ago about having something to help tell the difference <3 This was back when I was a CC.

My thoughts were something like having a Wifi Signal icon above the torp while it was homing-active. A player would be able to identify quickly if the torps were dumb-fire or not. Also, the icon could disappear when the homing disables as the torps go dumbfire due to proximity to target.

I do believe the wavy particle effect on homing torps is our solution for helping players identify homing vs non-homing, though I don't believe the particle effect disappears when the torpedo "goes ballistic" for the final bit of distance. I feel that would be useful in helping players understand the homing mechanics and would love if that could be implemented, but no idea on if that'll be a thing.

If this was the case, DCP would not be able to repair incapacitated Engines/Rudders/Weapons?

A mod has recently been made which does the "homing-active" or not representation: https://forum.worldofwarships.asia/topic/58363-all-advanced-torpedo-marker/?tab=comments#comment-601794

The Homing Torpedo mod that shows when Homing cuts off is now available in Modstation as well as Aslain's!

The mod shows if the torps fired are homing torpedoes and if they are actively homing. That's useful information which can help, certainly.

If you want to see specific cut-off distances, they are listed on the Wiki: https://wiki.wargaming.net/en/Ship:Torpedoes#Acoustic_Homing_Torpedoes
