Destroying a torpedo launcher destroyes all torpedo launchers on ship

[zaigre777]

Regardless of position of ship,if one gets destroyed they all blow up...dont know if it is a thing in later years but during 1890-1902 i observed it many times on ships from cruisers,battleships to torpedo boats.Dont really understand what happens here,if the torpedo ammo exploded then i would expect a much bigger damage to ship,but often times the damage is not serious.

I haven't seen this. What I have seen is a launcher gets destroyed and no torpedoes are lost, and a "ammo/torpedo critical hit" in which all torpedoes are lost even though some might be in a launcher and the launcher has not been hit.

When I lose torpedo ammo, yes damage is minimal. I don't think I've ever been set on fire or had a flooding from the exploding torpedoes. I think also very minimal crew loss too. I can not speak for armour damage. You'll get damage from the shot, but maybe it should be more.

I don't really know how torpedoes "blow up" and maybe its only concussion force and not shrapnel?

With the ongoing issue of torpedoes not firing, I think the damage should be very little, as most of the time you end up getting torpedo explosions that shouldn't have happened because the torpedo should have launched.

I have the same. Seems to be a bug
