Star Wars Battlefront II - Release Notes - August Patch

@XXXO77O4906

I just tried it, and made a clip. You can indeed spam the torpedo without recharge time.

Video.

I'll make a bug report later if this is not intended - I doubt it is.

Firing 3 is normal. More then that would be interesting.

yeah, @Rogue_Manda_YT already confirmed its working OK.

looks like there was also a fix for timed challenges - different ones are showing up now whereas the same ones kept showing up before

@XXXO77O4906

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.)

@XXXO77O4906Hi

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)

or maybe not... back to same ones showing up. 

I must have completed "Wipe Them Out" 18 times now!  LOL

@DarthFDG 

Created a thread last week for the problem with the timed challenges. @EA_Ataashi said he would pass on the information to the developers but whether that will actually be done or make any difference to the issue remains to be seen.

Would appreciate your support (and that of anybody else fed up with playing the same ones over and over).

Perhaps we can get some traction behind it....
