Hey mate and greets fellas. You are creator of gallic ships right? I've noticed this not long time ago. Unlike other bombers, Gallic bombers is missing torp tubes. Any chance to add them?

Many bombers don't have torpedo tubes. It's down to a modellers preference whether or not the tubes are added, because they're not a requirement.

Personally, any bomber I develop likely won't have torpedo tubes because to me, the model of the gun is the torpedo tube. It doesn't make sense to put a torpedo tube inside a torpedo tube. It also looks ugly whenever you put a torpedo inside a torpedo tube, because the gun model sticks out the sides, and clips through the sides of the torpedo tube.

In fact, I actually dislike it when you have two torpedoes on either side of the bomber...

Bombers with both slots centered are the best.

ok...none of the bombers i have made have torp tubes...

the reasons for that are simple...and i have explained it before...
Igiss wanted discovery to be as vanilla as possible. I looked at vanilla ships and they dont have torp tubes despite that any VHF can mount torpedo launcher (bomber class is not vanilla but i followed known designs).

However, all torpedo launchers Have their own model. So if weapon has a model why hide it inside of a ship?

There is another reason...torp tube is usually smaller then some torpedo launcher models so they will stick out of them. Add to that 20 degree arc to each side that any torp can turn and they can stick out even on sides of a model.


Third reason, and very important one is that torpedo hidden inside of ship model can't be blown off because its covered by ships hitbox. That to me is not acceptable and it unbalances bombers compared to most ships.

To prevent all that IMO torp tubes are not needed. I would rather create larger models for Novas and Snovas that look more powerful.

This is truth. Although many of bombers already have tubes, what is not going to change i guess. That is why i find it little bit unfair, taht our novas and SNACs wont be covered. But we are Gallia after all so...

Anyway thx for response, thought you forgot about them. If not, it is ok then
