Torpedo Type 91 No.3 (Obsolete)

5,786 Mainblocks  8.1 years ago

This model is the most effective, realistic and fastest torpedo i have ever created.

"1:1 replica"

The Type 91 was an aerial torpedo of the Imperial Japanese Navy which was designed to be launched from an aircraft.

Model : No.5 (or rev.5)

| Specs |

Maximum firing range : 2,000 m (2,187 yd)
Warhead weight : 323.6 kg with high explosive 235 kg

| History |

The Type 91 aerial torpedo had two unique characteristics:

Wooden attachments on the tail fins, that acted as aerodynamic stabilizers, which were shed upon water entry.
An angular acceleration control system (PID controller) to control r rolling movements, which was very advanced for its time.

| Tactics and uses |

Slow torpedo tactic :

Released the torpedo with the airspeed not exceeding 130 knots (or 240 km/h, 150 mile/h) and at an altitude no higher than 30 m (98 ft), with slower airspeeds resulting in better precision.

Fast torpedo-bombing tactic :

As for a high-speed torpedo bombing run in 300 knots (or 556 km/h, 345 mile/h), the maximum altitude for release was limited at 300 – 350 m (984 - 1,148 ft). The strength of contra-rotating propeller limited launch height. A torpedo, tested at 100 m in very high speed from P1Y land-based attacker Ginga at Yokosuka arsenal, veered upon water entry because of a crack in a screw blade. The minimum release height was also limited to 40 m (131 ft) in a high-speed run. If it were released lower than 30 m (98 ft) in a high-speed run, the torpedo might skip on the water's surface.

|Instructions|

You need to setup the engine activation at the same group of the released.

| Afterwords |

The torpedo is fully capable of sinking small to medium sized ships (USS Tiny to Destroyer 'modern version').
