i just dont get why youd want the air launched torpedo as an ASW weapon. youve gotta line the approach up, youve gotta run the the thing so it arms and hits the diving target, and its against a target that can dive in about 30sec. now as an ASuW weapon, sure.
the priority should be the historical ASW weapon of choice, the shallow fused air dropped depth charge. likely to detonate even under a diving sub it was lethal. Has this already been fixed in-game?
am i missing something here??  |
for you viewing pleasure, FIDO air dropped acoustic torpedo:

standard tactic for carrier based airplanes was for a fighter to first strafe the boat and kill the deck crew, after which a torpedo bomber would drop FIDO in the wake of the U-Boat or its swirl if it dived.
Germans were not the only ones to develop cool toys during the war.
