Upgraded torps are better than assaults vs frigates it seems - assault frigates still miss 1/3 of their rounds against frigates.

See issue #19. Hw1 assault frigs are actually doing twice as good vs corvs as torp frigs. The intention was to make both about the same vs corvs, somehow that got messed up after ballistics were added.
Health wise tho, torps are the weakest frig in the game and hw1 assault frigs are the strongest.
@MaxL_1023 off memory i think their accuracy is 80% vs frigs. A lot of guns are like that now, including hiig bc guns vs capital ships. I personally think 90% would look better but tons of ships would need to be touched and possibly rebalanced - so meh. Missed shots can still hurt other ships behind them though (ballistics).
@herbyguitar Cloaking only works if your ships aren’t attacking, so put them in passive. The AI ignores cloaking though so some ppl thought they didnt work, but they do in MP. HWR cloaking isnt like in hw1c though. Hw1c would cloak your ships as soon as they stopped firing.
@Cloaked: In campaign and computer opponents they don’t work at all… This can’t be right…
