As to the torp...it's new
Only 3 bombers can even carry a single one of these massive warheads, they'll take roughly a minute to lock onto a target, but,...one will remove a cruiser from your hud on impact completly. It's very very slow moving, has a small shield generator built into it to help penetrate enemy flak defese priorto impact, but interceptors will still be able to defeat the shielding in time if they act fast and the warhead is not protected by fighters.
GTVA is attempting to incoorperate a minor AI controller into this warhead to give it a rudimetery dodging capability.
This weapon is mainly used by Cap ships in direct combat with larger caps.
