Torpedo launchers are a cannon variant which fire torpedoes, water-bound projectiles which can inflict severe damage to naval crafts upon detonating.
¶ Usage
When fired, torpedoes ascend or descend to y-level 62. Upon contact with water at this level, they will activate and travel in a straight line until they hit a block, causing them to detonate.
Torpedoes may be used in conjunction with the sequential firemode, allowing them to be fired one-by-one rather than all simultaneously. It is possible to make just torpedo launchers fire sequentially by using /firemode sequential [name of torpedo launcher design].
¶ Torpedo Firepower
Torpedoes add torpedo firepower (TFP) to their craft. Crafts can have a TFP limit which restricts the total number of torpedoes that can be added to them.
TFP is separate from regular cannon firepower. Some crafts - namely corvettes, destroyers and bombers - can exceed their TFP limit, but each excess point of TFP will consume 3.34 points of regular firepower. This means they can sacrifice their other cannons (e.g. naval guns) for extra torpedoes.
