    @Pauciloquent That's what I did on my torpedoes. The most lethal one I've got only has one Bomb 50 and four Bomb 25 in it though. I need one with three or four Bomb 50s. :D

    @BRuthless Hmmm that's something to test later :D but if it gets to saturn V levels of big I think it will be too impractical... though you could just nudge the bombs into each other.

    @Pauciloquent I think the blast radius adds up the more Boom 50s you pack into one explosion (atleast that's what I've seen on my IntelliBomb), but I haven't tried killing the whole fleet with one torpedo yet. :D

    @BRuthless I'm happy with that score, thanks : ) ... I'm not sure how to destroy the whole fleet with one single torpedo... two sure but all three hmmmm I don't think the blast radius of the boom 50 is big enough... I think you need to go with a cluster bomb style torpedo to get that done. Again thanks : )

    Score:

    Lethality: 8 (can destroy even large ships with one hit, but can't destroy a whole fleet)

    Speed: 9 (pretty fast)

    Stability/Accuracy: 10 (perfect in all points)

    Compatibility/Size: 4 (pretty slim, but also long, probably fits on most bombers and even some smaller crafts)

    Maximum launch altitude: 9 (I thought about giving it a bonus point, as I have even tested it at 2000 feet ASL with perfect results)

    Minimum launch distance: 5 (drops quickly enough even for very close launches)

    Maximum launch distance: 10 (can be launched at any range and still hit because of the high stability and steering function)

    Looks: 4 (very sleek and realistic, I just want to keep one point free for a design that really flashes me)

    Total: 59
