<div dir="ltr">I am trying to figure out if the Axion torpedo is
affected by the opponent's cloak as it uses gravimetric
targeting and not active or any type of fire control.
<div>a sub while cloaked can fire the axion torp with no need of
lock-on but what about.</div>
<div>non-cloak(frax) axion vs cloaked Romulan --or--
Cloaked(Frax) vs Cloaked Romulan</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>as far as I can tell they are not affected by a cloak in
any way.</div>

<p><i><b>(E51.33) LOCK-ON EFFECTS:</b></i><i> The Axion Torpedo uses
a special fire control system, which is not connected to the
ship's Active (</i><i><a>D6.6</a></i><i>) or Passive (</i><i><a>D19.0</a></i><i>)
Fire Controls and cannot use ECCM while the ship is cloaked. The
range is not doubled (</i><i><a>D6.123</a></i><i>) for the lack
of a lock-on. ECM is used by the target unit normally. If the
ship armed with the Axion Torpedo is uncloaked, it may use ECCM
normally if its fire control is active.</i></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I read this to mean that:</p>
<p>When a Frax submarine is cloaked and the opponent is un-cloaked:
the doubled-range effect of passive fire control is ignored.</p>
<p>When the Submarine is un-cloaked and the opponent is un-cloaked:
Consider as a normal direct-fire weapon.</p>
<p>When a Frax submarine is cloaked and the opponent is cloaked: The
doubled-range effect of passive fire control is ignored. However,
add 5 to the range (G13.312) (G13.32) and use the fire adjustment
chart (G13.37) due to the EW effects of the cloak.</p>

<p>However, you should double-check with the main BBS, as I'm not
making a ruling on this.<br>
