yeah, @Rogue_Manda_YT already confirmed its working OK.
Wow, 3 is normal? That's seriously OP. Even just one almost entirely destroys an X-Wing, don't even get me started on landspeeders & smaller crafts. It also seems much harder to dodge than a normal homing missile, but that might just be my imagination. (And you can't even dodge with many of the vehicles.)I always use the3 ion torpedo as it is almost essential on some maps eg. Hoth due to the heavy presence of turrets and starfighters. It is also an assistance in taking down walkers. if you can get a consistent lock, yes you can fire 2 in rapid succession, 3rd takes a little longer but if the lock gets broken, you have to get another lock. I used to think that it was overpowered but after a period of time players have changed tactics and now it is more difficult to get the lock. It has made the strafing of ground troops by starfighters more competitive.
3 torpedos are enough. Below is what is required to destroy enemy vehicles.if you get a good lock
1 torpedo - Speeder bikes (Endor) Turrets (unless at a distance where you may have to use all 3 because of inaccurate locking). Speeders on Tatooine.
2 torpedos - Starfighters on any map and some armour. Speeders on Starkiller base (if you're quick)
3 torpedos - Bombers on any map (have had to use sentry gun to complete on some) & AT-ST's
These numbers will change if the target is already damaged.
The Torpedos won't lock on D-9 turrets on Hoth. Also, if there is a larger target near to your intended target the torpedo will deviate to the larger even if it is already out of play eg AT-AT's on Hoth.
Hope this helps.
P.S. An ion grenade is more efficient but it is too hard to throw one at a starfighter (LoL)
