Remember.... large ships tend to stay in open water.... so you have to completely expose yourself in open water in order to get close enough to drop a torpedo. In that time, the AI gunner on ships will have spotted you 4km out. While that fighter on your six is 2km out, tearing you to shreds, because your gunners wont engage until 0.2km out. So it's either get ripped apart by AA from ships, because your gunners wont do anything about the fighter behind you or get ripped apart by a plane because you're trying to dodge AA from ships.

Hey, are you planning to introduce any advanced torpedo systems that were used during the war? The Germans had their Torpedo-Kommandogerät, a device that could be used to input target's speed and angle, and then the torpedo could be dropped directly towards the target and the torpedo would automatically turn to intercept the target. If you set the parametres in correctly and the enemy ship continued on course, the torpedo would hit the target. The Italians had the pattern-running Motobomba FFF torpedoes, and the Allies had some parachute-equipped torpedoes which could be dropped from significant altitude and with very high airspeed, since the parachute would slow the torpedo to space speed for water entry.
@@zrty6512 I was referring to aircraft armaments and equipment. The Torpedo-Kommandogerät for example should be available on the He 111 torpedo bomber, and I certainly don't remember seeing Motobomba FFF or parachute torpedoes as available ordnance either.

Will you add torpedoes for the JU88? and will you add the FW 190 with a Torpedo? You also talked about the japanese (and in a bit about the italian) navy and their torpedo bombers, will these tech trees come soon? You already showed some of their ships and boats in the CBT.
I think the most feasible would be the Ju-87 Torpedo Bomber variants made for the incomplete Graf Zeppelin. The FW-190 would have too much of an offensive armament for a bomber. The Ju-88 could work but it's just another twin-engine Torpedo Bombers which Germany has two of already.
That's why i love FW-190s. They can do almost everything. They have really good cannons, they can be equiped with 210mm rockers, bombs (from 50kg ones to a 1000kg one) and they can be used as normal fighters, most planes can't do all of this.
@@cloroxbleach9222 to be honest the Ju 88 is way faster then other twin engined bombers. The naval Ju 87 is a good addittion, but the fi 167 might be usefull too. And the he 115 floatplane would be nice aswell
Now that they have the se les shown a photograph of the torpedo armed ju88a4 they cant keep dodging the players asking for the missing ordnance. I would personally like the fi167 for low tier.
Coordinate with your team mates?! I’m sorry gaijin but the only teamwork present in naval forces is that of destroyers against other destroyers. Light cruisers and patrol boats just rush in and pepper spray the enemy with fire till they die and trying to get a random friendly player, be it a ship or aircraft, to distract an enemy player whilst you try to line up for a torpedo run on said player??! Yeah good luck with that.
My next door neighbor chum’s father was Torpedo Bomber Squadron Commander , Edward J. Montagne . Their F-U Corsairs were fitted w / torpedos aboard the Carrier Vella Gulf in the Solomons . He passed away in 2019 @ 100 yrs. old !
Launching a torpedo at a ship that just released its smoke cloud is a good cover for lineing up you're shot from longer distances because by the time the cloud dissipates your right on top of them ready to release the torpedo then fly through the smoke over top of them then turn back with your rear camera to look at your handy work, i love that part
I feel these planes need a buff. From RB experience, my soviet IL-4 can get 2 kills easily using the 2x500 and 1x1000kg loadout but really struggles with using it's torpedo. Even when the torpedo hits it doesn't guarantee the kill whereas I haven't had a single bomb strike not kill a destroyer in the il-4. Not to mention all torpedos are hard to aim so you HAVE to get close to score a hit. Since ships already get a torpedo aiming indicator in RB, aircraft should get the same.
One of the best sensation I have in this game is when I fly in my he 111 at 3 meters, avoiding AA fire and drop my torpedoe before pass over the ennemy destroyer who explode a few seconds later
"Most naval battles in War Thunder take place near the shore, with lots of islands, rocks, and other types of surface objects." How about adding historical locations such as Pearl Harbor, the Battle of Taranto, or even Midway Atoll for bigger ships?
Another thing that is very rewarding is when you use a SBD 3 Dauntless dive bomber the correct way; diving from roughly 10,000ft and scoring a direct hit on the torpedo tubes on destroyers, then using the smaller bombs to finish off PT boats
Torpedo bombers are only a threat as long as you don't aim your MGs at them. With target tracking even in RB, shooting down incoming planes is easier than ever before.
Will italy get any additional CAS aircraft for when the italian tanks come out? They are lacking quite a bit, with only the SM79's being a valid option
I will rarely use Torpedoes but when I do I make sure I'm a total of Two and a Half km away from my target add an altitude of no higher than 1,000 ft.I also make sure I have enough energy to pull up and away usually banking left or right if there is an enemy fighter ready to intercept me.
One of my war thunder stories is: I was once a torpedo plane flying over a POWERFUL enemy. When the person fired at me I tried to get out, but I could not. So I went underwater for like a second and came out and managed to dodge a lot of gunfire. Idk if it was a glitch that I went under the water or what. But I still won. And I had one piece of my wing blown off... And used my tail gun to gun down the ship. And then went in for a torpedo attack. I flew real close and then dropped it and juked the ship VERY hard.
@@TheGunningPony Because Germany really doesnt have many options for Torpedo bombers. Plus since its a 190 it has maneuverability on its side compared to a HE-111 or a DO-217
Heres the thing; in a hellcat with 1 torp, I can get 1 enemy. In a hellcat with 2 bombs and 8 rockets, I can (and often do) get 3; 1 per bomb and an extra with the rockets.
The sad reality is naval forces are barely in air RB now, making torpedo craft nearly useless. Also, anti-ship missiles when, Gaijin? We have the planes to use them!
tip face your bow to the torpedo so you can doge it better and it depends of the armor of your ship and if your a torpedo bomber do zig zags and drop those fishes make sure not to target heavily armored ones too like battleships
The Torpedo is similar to a ballistic missiles that travel in the sea waters beneath by a rocket engine that can hit Naval battle ships or submarines .
Torpedo's are fun every now and then, but I mostly stick to bombs and rockets. The Fritz-X glide bombs and the British RP-3 rockets are my go to ordnance for naval battles. The RP-3's are usually OHK and planes like the Hurricane can have up to 8 of them. The Fritz-X is just flat out fun.. Drop from 8-10km up and watch the targets on the ground frantically zig zag around the whizzing bomb sound to their death.
the worst torpedo bomber is the italian G.55S you have to be at about 300km/h to drop the torpedo without it drowning, which is at the point where you can barely stay in the air without stalling
My preferred method of approach is a shallow dive with full power in the B-34 Lexington, then, in Air RB, I try to hit Japanese Carriers dead on. The early US fish are practically useless, but the 1944 Mod can be dropped from more than 500kph
I cannot agree more with the video. When you aim to be a Torpedo Ace, US or JPN are your best bet. They have the highest drop speed, angle or altitudes. Most other nation's torpedo bombers lack the hand-... er... airbrake to get your speed down to drop speed. I still fondly remember the old times before bombers and torpedos had the limitations in AB. Dive in with a Beaufort, with exceptional energy retention at 900 km/h, drop a torpedo, rinse and repeat and have 3 ships sunk before the enemy knew what happened to them ;) Seriously, rewards for sinking a ship with a torpedo should be a tad higher than just dropping a bomb on them since it requires more skill to do it. And, don't forget that the Bismarck could only be sunk with the aid of a valiant Swordfish, which's torpedo demolished the Bismarck's rudder. ;)
Late versions of Japanese bomber don't come with a torpedo because the plane itself is a torpedo

war thunder is already moving towards modern vehicles
@@timothygoodwin3287 not what i mean i mean just Modern Vehicles nothing old
@@jesperomsf816 like what?
We allredy got Abrams, leopard2 isn't that modern enough?
Phant0m NetworkX eventually war thunder will be there
You guys dun did it right!! Keep adding stuff to your game please I need more I'm addicted...
you should go on drugs instead
Heres the thing; in a hellcat with 1 torp, I can get 1 enemy. In a hellcat with 2 bombs and 8 rockets, I can (and often do) get 3; 1 per bomb and an extra with the rockets.
The sad reality is naval forces are barely in air RB now, making torpedo craft nearly useless. Also, anti-ship missiles when, Gaijin? We have the planes to use them!
tip face your bow to the torpedo so you can doge it better and it depends of the armor of your ship and if your a torpedo bomber do zig zags and drop those fishes make sure not to target heavily armored ones too like battleships
With boat torpedoes I fire all in a choke point that looks like a lot of boats pass through
"plan your attacks with other players" bruh the amount of times I get sacrificed for someone else to get a kill is insane
Tactics I use is I call my teammates in and just throw ourselves at the enemy
Worked for the soviets
Swordfish your time has come.
hopefully with naval out we can get japans proper model 7 torpedoes instead of just the pre and early war model 2s and 3s
Don't forget Comrade
We have a 5000kg Nuclear Bomb
On Pe-8
That a Worst nightmare For Ship too
the c key is a good helper, also when in doubt become the torpedo
So it`s time to add Flying Tanks?
I use the TBF Avenger
Just started out with torp bombers,aiming is very difficult thus far especially when most of my targets are submarine chasers and motor gun boats.
The Torpedo is similar to a ballistic missiles that travel in the sea waters beneath by a rocket engine that can hit Naval battle ships or submarines .
“They come in all different shapes and sizes” *Size doesn’t matter moment*
Torpedo's are fun every now and then, but I mostly stick to bombs and rockets. The Fritz-X glide bombs and the British RP-3 rockets are my go to ordnance for naval battles. The RP-3's are usually OHK and planes like the Hurricane can have up to 8 of them. The Fritz-X is just flat out fun.. Drop from 8-10km up and watch the targets on the ground frantically zig zag around the whizzing bomb sound to their death.
the worst torpedo bomber is the italian G.55S
you have to be at about 300km/h to drop the torpedo without it drowning, which is at the point where you can barely stay in the air without stalling
I wish they add torpedos on the dorniers. That plane in my opinion looks cool for design
I love the way you said irl
My preferred method of approach is a shallow dive with full power in the B-34 Lexington, then, in Air RB, I try to hit Japanese Carriers dead on. The early US fish are practically useless, but the 1944 Mod can be dropped from more than 500kph
WE NEED MORE FLOAT PLANES! THERE IS OVER 100 MORE THAT COULD BE ADDED, MAKE IT HAPPEN!

I cannot agree more with the video. When you aim to be a Torpedo Ace, US or JPN are your best bet. They have the highest drop speed, angle or altitudes. Most other nation's torpedo bombers lack the hand-... er... airbrake to get your speed down to drop speed. I still fondly remember the old times before bombers and torpedos had the limitations in AB. Dive in with a Beaufort, with exceptional energy retention at 900 km/h, drop a torpedo, rinse and repeat and have 3 ships sunk before the enemy knew what happened to them ;)
Seriously, rewards for sinking a ship with a torpedo should be a tad higher than just dropping a bomb on them since it requires more skill to do it.
And, don't forget that the Bismarck could only be sunk with the aid of a valiant Swordfish, which's torpedo demolished the Bismarck's rudder. ;)
Except you don’t give us enough naval battles to make this worthwhile
My torpedo lauch 1.aim at the enemy ship 2.preper my torpedo 3 AAA fire at my4. Ven ai remenber thas ai en a bomber 5 KAMICAZE!!!!!!
in arcade battles if you get to close when the torpedo hits the enemy, your plane will explode so be very careful
Bomb skipping is still the best tactic 👌
i would love to see more torpedo bombers but mostly you get bombed by kamikaze planes or a PE-8 if you are higher tier.
nice video, continue for all this help you give us
