Just like not all Pan-Asian captains know that deepwater torps can't hit DDs, not all DD captains know they can't be hit by them. Sometimes I'll throw a rack of the deepwater torps at a DD just to watch them freak out and try to turn to avoid them. Cracks me up every time :)
I'll still throw a rack into a smoke screen, especially if they have the range to go well beyond the smoke. Many players make use of smokescreens that aren't a DD.
Remember, there are only 16 ships in the game that use deep-water torps out a few hundred. Sometimes, players forget, or you just got in the habit of running regular torps, and then you decide to play a pan-asain ship, 😊and you think that they have regular trops too. What WG neends to do is instead of having a gray icon for unique armaments, it should be a bright color to signify that's important.
In fairness to newbies, Deepwater Torps are a damn stupid thing anyhow, with no basis in reality ("Reality?" In WOW? What am I thinking?). But as my high school science teacher liked to say, "When in doubt, read the instructions". As regards YT instruction, I highly recommend Tbull's channel. He no longer does anything for WOW, but did very good tutorials back in the day. Agreed, more needs to be done for instructing new Players. Btw, I have Huang He. She's a good little light cruiser. :)

Lmao
Came to say this. As a distraction in a sticky situation it can't hurt
Have you ever used it to scare another noob out of his smoke with Deep Water Torps?
No. To me that would be a waste of torps. But I definitely will try it 😁
It works a surprising amount of the time 😆
@@DaFreshPotato I mean if you have better targets sure. I don’t mean be wasteful with them.

They are not reading the stats and abilities of their ships, obviously.
