We have torpedoes. They work about the same as the one you showed in EAW except they arent that slow (yet) Someone needs to make a low drag airfoil with a LARGE wing area to get the thing to glide slowly and have a slow descent.

that torpedo looks like a missle.. cruising out and away from the aircraft like that...

I have a torpedo, that Snickers helped add to the loadout for the PBY, really speaking it would be a good idea to hide the model of that flying bomb and put a torp model to it, with some tinkering to it's flight charachteristics {sp} it's could be the best substitute we'll get for some time

Yes it does look that way Nat... But for good reason..... We cannot create ground moving weapons (ie. torpedoes) so the torpedo has to act like a rocket.....

What about the DamBuster bomb, it skips, why not replace the LOD with a torpedo??

Nats torpedo (Nat do you still use the germ500?) Has been renamed so you can still use the standard germ500 bomb. Not general release yet, but the MK13 can be launced as a rocket (in which case you will see it pull away as in the above pic, or as a bomb. In this case it has a long glide slope and does not nose over like a bomb does. Nat if you dont have the MK13, its ppf file and the line needed to add to startup.ppf let me know and I will zip it up so you can post it on your site.

Why MK13? The torps used by the PBY were MK13-3. Since I will need one for the PBY Nat was kind enought to oblige, and I changed the name. When it is done correctly the name will change to MK13-3.
