Since my previous designs refused to work since the update to v1.4, I've tried to make a working torpedo again.
It also comes with a simple plane, which I use for testing.
To launch the torpedo, just press AG1 and leave throttle at 100%.
It can be launched without problems at up to 3000 feet in level flight.
Up to 1000 feet, you can launch it at up to 10° upwards/downwards pitch angle and up to 30° bank (left/right roll) angle, but precision is better when launched at 0° bank angle (level wings).
In the water it has a speed of 200-250 MPH, average is ~220 MPH.
Stability is pretty good, though it keeps jumping slightly in the water. The touchdown is very quick and very stable.
It houses four Boom 25s and one Boom 50, so it can destroy any ship in one hit.
Weight and size are pretty low, you should be able to fit it on many planes or ships.
Remember that you have to aim ahead of your target to hit it.
You can use it on your designs freely.
Feedback and suggestions are appreciated.
Cheers! :)

Amazing!!!!
@BRuthless thanks man ^^
@esms1999 You can just use this torpedo, it can be launched at sea-level aswell, doesn't have to be dropped from the air. :) I didn't test launching it from a ship, but there shouldn't be any issues.
@BRuthless can you make a ship bound launcher for this ? ill credit it to you but i need one for my next ship so could you?
WOOO Thank!
