Maceswinger's guide for Naval Frontline

Torpedoes of each nations

"Mace finally posted another ship guide???"

Looks at title

"Oh."

-Everyone

Yes, I am talking about the differences of torpedoes in each nation currently in the game. I understand that submarine torpedoes are vastly more different then ship-launched torpedoes, and some torpedo launchers can differ from what is said below, but I have compared the averages of all the differences in SHIP LANUCHED torpedoes, and found some interesting statistics.

Disclaimer: the speed in which the torpedoes go at is NOT listed in game; therefore, I may be wrong.

Differences:


 * United States Navy: They have I would call some of the most balanced torpedoes in the game. They do a healthy amount of damage, the torpedoes have semi-good range on them, and they travel fast in the water; especially compared to some of the other nation's torpedoes. They have a pretty slow reload timer, however.


 * Imperial Japanese Navy: They have by far the LONGEST ranged torpedo's in the game, and they have the strongest firepower of any surface launched torpedoes in the game; however, they are really slow in the water, and this really does force you to get closer to targets to ensure that your torpedoes don't have to take forever to it their targets. This also makes them easy to dodge. They also have by far the slowest reload of any torpedoes...


 * Royal Navy: They have short ranged torpedoes and mild damage, but they pay by having definitively THE SLOWEST TORPEDOES IN THE GAME. There has been instances where I launched torpedoes at 50 range, and enemies managed to dodge them. Their reload is ok, but not enough to excuse them.


 * Kriegsmarine: This is sort of a mixed bag, with similar performing torpedoes as the US. Do note that their torpedoes are quite slow, but not as slow as say, the Japanese. The reload on them are average.


 * Regia Marina: They have the quickest torpedoes in the game, but they pay dearly for having one of the worst, if not the worst torpedo ranges of the game. Further more, they are the least damaging torpedoes in the game as well, doing a tiny 2300 damage. There are level 28 ships (Renown) that has better one shot damage. The reloads on them are pretty quick though.

Soviet Navy: This is the strange one. For a start, their torpedoes deal pretty low damage, and their range is not impressive. However, their torpedoes are quick, and they have the quickest reload time of any torpedo launcher.

Note: this is not a review on each nation's torpedoes; I acknowledge that each nation has it's own play style and weaknesses.
