MOTOBOMBA FFF Torpedo

Why not? Does that tin can have a shield generator?

No excuse to not be included, with the Russian parachute bomb coming this update the technology is there. All the devs would have to do is make a the torpedo go in circles which shouldn’t be hard.

Other than that, this torpedo is much needed for Italy. There is no tech tree torpedo carrier except the bombers which will immidiately get shot down if trying to use with torpedos. This could be a great addition to give those bombers and actual use in naval and not just be targets

I think that the MOTOBOMBA FFF will shine particularly in the enduring confrontations, where with the much needed SM 82 you could carry 8 of them.
Immagine to play in a plotoon with other friends…you’ll have 4x sm 82 for a total of 32 MOTOBOMBA FFF (every 40 seconds if it’s the arcade mode of the enduring confrontations), you could create basically giant minefields ^^
so yes, a single MOTOBOMBA FFF can’t cripple the mighty Iowa but if the battleship finds itself in the middle of x32 MOTOBOMBA FFF hunting ground I thing that also the giant could fall to the little but numerous and explosive mice.

one thing is for sure, with the first 20 orders you’ll have the bomb’s camouflage unlocked and the MOTOBOMBA FFF shaped arbre magique (wonder tree air fresher) for your car ^___^

Behold! I’ve found recently an interesting scheme depicting the internal details of the MOTOBOMBA FFF from the U.S. War Department publication “Tactical and Technical Trends”.

You put up the cover page of a März 1942 manual. Here is a newer manual from Oktober 1943:

it’s too much work for something they can’t make a 70 dollar premium pack so they will not add it. They will find a way to blame us and say we don’t want it.
Well maybe a little more hope can carry us a long way, name is very funny too

that would announce terrible times, imagine a situation where a weapon system is locked behind the marketplace. E-100 situation right there

I mean it’s gajin, anything that’s ww2 or older is mostly added to bps or events which really sucks.

I hope we get a ww2/interwar update so a nice amount of those vehicles can join and not be drip fed events.

Can’t believe that qna was the way it is.

There’s at least hope for ww2 coastal as all but 3 naval nations only have two lines currently

It would be useful as a bit of a curve ball weapon. Its difficult in navy not to get tunnel focused on pounding an enemy ship and explode. This torpedo is basically a free floating mine with its own questionable objective so seeing a plane if you even notice it dropping something from a distance would likely go unregistered.

you can use it in ARB too, no need to aim and calculate a torpedo at an enemy ship

Just drop it in the path of the ship and done, not as reliable as sea mines but still.

True torpedoes like these also where kind of useful if you missed attacking a convoy or fleet as they would turn around and slam into another ship. Though there are many different torpedoes that can do this mainly for subs they would also have the benefit of causing one to think there where for subs attacking then there where like if a sub fired at a ships port side and the torpedo came around and was spotted at starboard.

the Italian thread has some nice pictures of it
Discussione sulla Motobomba FFF - National Communities / Comunità Italiana - War Thunder — official forum

US could even recieve air dropped accoutic homed torpedoes (Mk.24 “mine”)

There are plenty of anti-ship weapons left behind because

1st: Not a lot of people play naval
2nd: Sinking AI ships doesn’t reward a lot
