Accidentally Torpedoed Friendly

[BristolBrick 9]

Was sailing a fancy new G-101, me and another destroyer are close and pushing, I then see an enemy something, and decide why not launch a torpedo from here? Won't do any harm. But immediately I see my mistake, as the other guy is sailing parallel and slightly behind me. Oops. I score 2 hits, he dies, and I go on to get slaughtered on my own. Immediately apologized in chat, because it was entirely my fault and I was being careless. Hopefully I'll learn to be careful with torpedoes. I'm new to this destroyer thing, mainly play battleships, which I learned pretty good trigger discipline on. That would have stopped me torpedoing a friendly, except I forgot torpedoes don't go nearly so fast.

Good thing you learnt something. Never ever damage a friendly, even if he kills you.

This should be pinned as the correct way to post about accidental teamkilling. Welcome to the forums.

this happened to me last night, we were in a channel and I fired from the right hand side (DD) and his DD was ahead, but way off to the port quarter... but then he came straight across the path... boom.  I apologised in chat but guess that wasn't enough, he rocked past me and let rip with a salvo!!  its going to happen occasionally, but that didn't help the team any.
