War Thunder - Brilliant torpedo evasion by bad helmsman

Clemson class DD-336 USS Litchfield

I've enjoyed War Thunder's addition of the big ships to the naval battles, although I still usually favor the speed and maneuverability of the small ships. Here I evaded several torpedoes in the first couple minutes of the match. One just barely by swinging the ship around it, first by using full right rudder to get aside of the torpedo's path, then by using left full rudder to swing the stern out of the path. I can hardly believe it worked! Right after, I evaded a salvo of four more torpedoes from a small boat, sailing right between the group of them. All this amazing torpedo evasion was followed up with a horrible three ship pile up after sailing around the corner of an island right into two allied ships. I finished the video with a clip from one of my personal favorite movies "The Enemy Below," when the destroyer captain evades the submarine's torpedoes early on in the engagement. Enjoy the video!
