I can help you: German torps were fitted with PBX but US with black powder. Anyway in RFBeta all torps are fitted with black powder to assure proper game balance!  |
I thought that since they were copying German torpedoes, the Americans would use vinegar and baking soda for their explosive.:rotfl:Actually I'd expect them to have almost the same explosive power. After all if you're busy slavishly copying right down the the defects, the explosive would most likely be copied too.
Early American torpedoes used TNT. They switched to torpex later for more boom.
