- I'm running version 1.2 out of the box. I generally play at 'expert' flight
- modelling but with radio messages on and inflight collisions off (about a
- level of difficulty around 80, I think). However, I have tried the torpedo
- runs all the way down to super novice level with no success.
-
- I should note that I have probably made 200 torpedo runs from a variety of
- distances. Normally this is hard to do since the torpedo missions are not
- provided with fighter cover so I am likely to get wasted when I get
- pounced on. But when I get lucky and manage to get a mission directly to
- the enemy vessels I just 'replay' that mission over and over again.
-
- If you are running an older version, please let me know and I will hassle
- Dynamix about getting it.
-
- BTW, the folks on the Sierra bulletin board support staff basically say "It
- is almost impossible to get a successful torpedo run. It is some sort of a
- programming thing"!!!! Not much help there, I'd say.
