So a 643 pound torpex warhead equals about 965 pounds of TNT in blastology, more than twice the bang of the original they started the war with. So finding a mod with double the damage is a good start, I made one that's adjustable according to taste;

There are five optional mods, number 3 is 125 + 125 - increases the power and damage radius, which increases the hit point loss and spreads the damaged area for bigger holes. That one feels about right to me, although for the crazies there are two more powerful mods that - well, that they get a bang out of.

KA BOOM!!! Now THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!!
