[2022] Submarine Ping Question

Order of Events:

Front Torps fired (unguided as no active "Target")



Ship is Pinged. "Target" Active. Front Torps aquire "Target" and will accept no new Targets after that.



Rear Torps fired (guided, as there is an active "Target")



Ship is Pinged. "New Target" Active. No torps are currently targeting this ship as all Torps have received a Target and will accept no new Targets after that.

-

After you have latched Torps onto a Target, make sure you land a ping on your new target before firing more torpedoes if you want tthem to home in on the new target.

I just recorded a video doing a walkthrough. It'll be up shortly.

One way to think about a Homing Torpedo using a visual:

Correct.

If the first set of Torps is locked to Ship A, and the second set of Torps was locked to Ship B, then both sets would be homing on their respective targets until:

they get close enough to go dumbfire


the enemy clears the ping via DCP


or the ping runs out over time.
