Torpedoes (Air Attack)
by Rolex

torpedo damage is double ordnance weight to account for damage under the water line.

One slow torpedo does 4,000 lbs. of damage.
One fast torpedo does 3,520 lbs. of damage.

Sinking cruisers and destroyers requires 2,000 lbs. of damage, so one torpedo of any type will sink an undamaged cruiser or destroyer.
Sinking a CV requires 8,000 lbs., so two slow torpedoes will sink an undamaged CV. Three fast torpedoes will sink an undamaged CV.

Devestators, B17s, and SBDs later came. B17s did nothing to the enemy fleet.

The B-17s did not come later.  The B-17s attacked the Japanese ships on the day of June 3rd, the same group of ships that were misidentified earlier as the main fleet.

it had damage on it then before you torped it

only 2 U.S. torps can sink a undamaged CV
it takes 3 jap or german
 this is as per the aces high help/training page

That AH page is woefully out of date. They have tweaked the CV damage a number of times, I believe.

you know why the pby's did a majority of their attacks at night right? they were too slow to risk in daylight.

In the day it would be like "what's that slow glint? It's not friendly." and Bang! The PBY pilot would be like  .

CVs require 4,000lbs of damage. All other ships i believe require 1K. could be 2K but i remember taking out a CA with 6 HVARs once

Then bring a formation of Ju88s.
