    Nice video.
    Quick question about the shipping. I know a while back there was a way the ships could carry different cargo and that this would affect the way it burned or exploded. Will the ships be able to have different load outs which will be great for mission builders? Ships could be carrying steel, coal, beer (inert cargo) but then amongst a convoy could be a single ammunition/explosive/ordnance ship which players will have no Idea about.
    So they torpedo shipping, 6 boats sink with explosions like you showed in this video. The seventh though explodes in a huge conflagration. This sort of treasure makes the event more interesting and diverse and keep the player on their toes?
    Second question, can submarines attack shipping with torpedoes too?
    Cheers, Mysticpuma.

    Thanks for posting Pat.

    Looking forward to seeing a video of the Wellington doing a torpedo attack.

    Great video!
    I can't wait to try this with the Welli.


    Just as a side note:
    I know the Beaufighters will not get torpedoes jet. But will they be able to successfully attack smaller ships (I remember there will be coastal freighters or something) with their cannons?

    Up to now, they can sink Minensuchboote (if they are extremely lucky...) but no freighters or tankers.
    Same issue with fueltanks. A good load of 20mm incendiaries in a petrol depot should do the trick, but right now this is not possible, which severly limits the use of the Beau.


    Cheers

    I really can't like this enough, I'm an old subsimmer and I do love my torpedoes!

    to that end could I pry for knowledge?

    I know there were 3 types of torpedo used by the germans for air drops, the F5 series 17.5", which I think you guys are modelling the F5b? the later varient with the wooden break away, and I guess perhaps the Italian torpedo the F5W "Whitehead" ?

    I also asked on the fb group about a water plume and whether that's possible as part of this?
    additionally the minimum angle for the impact pistol to detonate on earlier torpedoes was 16° is this included?

    sorry, i'm nerding out a little, as I say I played a lot of subsims
    and again, as i said on FB, considering this is not a native setup for the engine this is really fantastic work, i'm very much looking forward to it.

    "Testing has begun", does this mean we are not far from release?

    In one of the video's comments TFS states that a "Beau variant" will carry torps. Might be a typo - and TFS 5.0 was not explicitely mentioned. But sounds like it to me.

    About the video: I love the Mediterranean water! Will ditch my 109s in it over and over again.

    @ DUI, yes that is after 5.0. When I get home and have access to that page I can edit that comment.

    The Welly though can also carry torpedoes for 5.0.

    Fantastic work, Guys! I think this is likely to excite a lot of people because it opens up a whole new dimension of strategy and tactics. Everyone's going to want to try this! Bring it on!

    Thanks for sharing! Salute!

    I remember awhile back when the new ships were being modeled that there was a video that Wolf put out that showed a freighter in the distance exploding from AAA fire from the destroyer. Question is, will the freighters be straffable..with explosive cargo loaded on the decks? Fuel containers/ trucks/ tanks etc?. This would be a game changer as well.

    Only the Wellington IC and Heinkel 111H-6 will carry torpedoes in TF 5.0. (He-115 already does, but is AI and wasn't used in the Med)

    Will need to wait till TF 6.0 for the Beaufighter VI variant to get the torpedo loadout. (also will need to wait for Ju-88 torp variant)

    Just so it is clear: Heinkel 111H-6 and Wellington 1C both carry two torpedoes.

    Also please note, anyone who gets that close to a warship with their torpedo bomber will be shot to pieces.

    I really hope we will get into the late war period eventually and TF succeeds with everything
