Pyro: Japanese Airborne Torpedo Info
« on: August 12, 2002, 01:09:10 PM »
Hi Pyro, I have a favor to ask you.

Please model Japanese torpedo.
Japan could use more powerful torpedos.
These torpedos are used in Ki-67 at least.

Currently AH Ki-67 is using German torpedo.
It spoils Japanese torpedo attack capacity.

Type 91 Mod 3 800kg Torpedo
Max Launch Speed:
370 - 460km/h at 30 - 120m

Type 91 Mod 7 1055kg (1070kg) Torpedo
Max Launch Speed:
460 - 560km/h at 50 - 120m

Converting to mile/pound...

Type 91 Mod 3 1763lbs Torpedo
Max Launch Speed:
222.9 - 285.8mph at 98 - 393ft

Type 91 Mod 7 2325lbs (2358lbs) Torpedo
Max Launch Speed:
285.8 - 347mph at 164 - 393ft


Type 91 torpedo's paint scheme

Body - Silver
Head - Black (Red head is for Training)

Source: Mechanism of Military Aircraft 15 "Hiryu"

I would scan books to show the evidence.
