My ship is traveling at 45kts, and even accelerating to 60kts after thew drop, yet I routinly take signifacnt damage from my own DCs...easiky 25% or more of my durability. Its actually impossible to avoid damage at 45kts...45kts!
At this point, I might as well strap the explosive to my back and jump in after the sub myself...at least then I might get 72 virgins out of the deal.
At 45kts alone, I should be covering approx 125m before the 5 sec timer expires on the DC. If Im accelerating to 60ts, one could wager I'd be 150m or more away...come on guys, give my little ship a chance.
At least give us timer presets, let us use the torp speed settings to adjust timer length. It makes no sense a 45-60kt ship cant outrun its own DC detonations.
Maybe the whole idea of letting torps and DCs damage us well over a ship's length in distance away needs to be re-thought...its way to much of a "gimme" against new players/low level ships. I cant count how many times Ive out ran/dodged a torp, only to have its detonation/self-destruct area affect kill/cripple me.
