Usage in battles

Details of the 1926DA torpedo mount on the Late 298D

The best usage in battles of this torpedo is against lightly armored opponents, such as destroyers or frigates. Its tiny explosive filler means that any torpedo bulge will completely negate damage, thus it's better not to waste it against cruisers in higher BRs. Short travel distance adds to the difficulty, as the target has to be approached up close and personal - it's best to use hard cover or other friendly planes for distraction of the enemy anti-air guns.

Pros and cons

1926DA is very small for an aerial torpedo, with all the advantages and disadvantages it brings.

Pros:

  • Good maximum speed
  • Comparatively low mass has lower impact on the aircraft's performance

Cons:

  • Low calibre, other nations typically use 450 mm aerial torpedoes
  • One of the smallest explosive fillers among aerial torpedoes
  • Short travel distance

History

Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of the weapon in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />.

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
