Is there a comprehensive list of what we actually have, and when they are offered by year?

this torpedo is one of the new torpedo bombs (at a parachute) that are heading a circle after hitting the water.............

[Katkatman]

this torpedo (mk13) seems able to be carryed on the Beaufighter.

OK, I can confirm that the A20G carries the early Mk13. You need to be slow with flaps and at 30m pretty much dead on to drop straight.

I can't find any plane with the 13 late atm.

[Ian Boys]

BTW you can forget the thousands of metres for the circle torp. I've dropped one of those russian beauties at high speed and 170m alt. Lovely!!!

[Ian Boys]

Beaufighter also carries the slow/low torp. But why use it when the rockets sink a ship better?

I do not seem to be able to get a type 91 late torpedo. I setup G4M air starts at 30m, 240km/h and 60m, 330km/h and changed the date of the mission. Torps dropped at 60m, 330kph break up on entry into the water for all years 1940-1945. Torps dropped at 30m, 240km/h work fine.

Perhaps I am doing something wrong? Help appreciated.

[Azimech]

Yes, I too can't find the MK 13 late or Type 91 late, I've set the mission date to late 1946, but to no avail. TD, can we have an answer, please?

[JG53Frankyboy]

in the german UBI forum Caspar confirmed that at least the Mk13 late is missing in the game. he does not know why

the Tyre 91 late propably too, or perhaps the H8K torpedo is ment..............

I hope it can be included in the minipatch, right now the AI has great difficulties using the MK13 or Type 91, when trying to hit a fast moving carrier with strong headwind. I have to provide waypoints with the right speed and altitude from more than 15 km away or else they fail, and even then they often fail. And the first plane of that flight goes steady, while the rest keeps going up and down, frequently hitting the water.

what height you are setting at the attackwaypoint ?
im using 500m, the rest the AI is doing for itself. lower heights can only harm a propper AI attack - at least thats my observation
