To carry out an effective attack with torpedo bombers you should switch to attack mode at a considerable distance from the target. For your convenience, the aim distance is highlighted in yellow and the range in green. Remember that torpedoes need time to aim and successfully hit their target. This way you will more likely hit the enemy.

You can drop torpedoes as soon as the sight color swap to green, but it is better to reach a narrower spread. The spread is divided into sectors according to the torpedoes amount, ready to be dropped by your aircraft. In this case the destruction area is maximal and the torpedo attack is considered to be most effective.ĭepending on the aircraft, the torpedo spread begins to narrow during and after the descent while prepare for an attack. The most effective method is to drop torpedoes into the side of an enemy ship.

However, against maneuverable targets it`s important to get planes on them or to use a 'Hammer and Anvil' method - cross-drop of two or more torpedo spreads. Torpedo bombers are the main striking force of an aircraft carrier and are able counteract any kind of ships. flag signals can increase the flooding chance as follow:.'Aerial Torpedoes Modification 1' upgrade will increase torpedoes travel speed by 5%.'Torpedo Acceleration' commander skill will increase torpedoes travel speed by 5 knots, but reduce their range by 20%.Torpedoes characteristics can be improved as follow:

The range is usually quite short so it's best to attack closer to the target. Depending of the aircraft career tier it`s torpedo bombers can carry one or two torpedoes with following distinct values:
