Yes, although I find it very surprising that a 50 kg warhead (mk 50) could have a greater explosive force than an 80 kg russian warhead.


Changing subject, I tested an mk 50 against an Akula II improved and the sub was damaged only to 40%.
That means that to sink an Akula is going to take all your airborne torpedos if you're using a helo.
Is it plausible ?
