Compared to the torpedoes used by the motor torpedo boats at a similar BR, the Type 2 trades a very short range and a rather slow speed for a very powerful warhead. Relative to the peers of the same diameter, it maintains about the same speed and range, while having double the explosive power, thus being a great performer among 450 mm torpedoes of the era.

Type 2 (450 mm).png

Description

Write an introduction to the article in 2-3 small paragraphs. Briefly tell us about the history of the development and combat using the weaponry and also about its features. Compile a list of air, ground, or naval vehicles that feature this weapon system in the game.

Vehicles equipped with this weapon

General info

Tell us about the tactical and technical characteristics of the bomb.

Effective damage

Describe the type of damage produced by this type of bomb (high explosive, splash damage, etc)

Comparison with analogues

Compared to the torpedoes used by the motor torpedo boats at a similar BR, the Type 2 trades a very short range and a rather slow speed for a very powerful warhead. Relative to the peers of the same diameter, it maintains about the same speed and range, while having double the explosive power, thus being a great performer among 450 mm torpedoes of the era.
