Realistic Torpedoes WWII aerial torpedoes were delicate equipment that needed be dropped with some precautions. Each torpedo type had an optimum altitude and speed of drop that allowed it to hit the water with a determined, optimum angle. If the angle was bigger, the torpedo tended to sink. If it was smaller, it did not enter the water and skipped on the surface. Also, the torpedo could not be dropped from too high altitude, because if it impacted the water too hard, its internal mechanism could be damaged. Each torpedo type in IL-2 has its optimum drop parameters, of course some error is allowed, but not too much. • LT F5W (Italian Whitehead) 100m, 300Km/h • LT F5B 40m, 250Km/h • Mk13, Mk13a 30m, 205 km/h • Mk13 late 180m, 400 km/h (this torpedo had a much wider range of drop than the early one) • Type91 30m, 240 Km/h • Type91 late 60m, 330 km/h (this torpedo had a much wider range of drop than the early one) • 45-17 30m, 205 km/h Also torpedoes had to run for some time into the water to arm their warhead, so torpedoes cannot be dropped too close to the ship (distance should be bigger tan 400-600 meters). Torpedoes dropped on ground or directly on the ship (without hitting water) will not explode."[align=left][/align][align=left][/align]
