All German CC's have Torpedoes?

[Bingum]

I have a Karlsuhe and it has torps, and the next tier says +Torpedoes..Don't like it, rather have more firepower or defense.. Question is are all the German Cruisers from this point on going to have Torpedoes? Are there any nations whose CC's Don't? OR do all CC's in all nations for that tier eventually get torps?

USN doesnt have torpedoes after omaha. future ships might get them when/if they are added (uss buffalo). all KM and IJN do have torpedoes as far as i know.

 

IJN CAs have really potent torpedoes with long range, high damage and high speed. the KM torpedoes are more situational.

First off CC is the USN Designation for Cruiser, Battle aka. Battlecrusier (Although the unofficial term BC is more popular because Battle Cruiser.)

Cruisers are either CL (Cruiser, Light) - Guns less than 8" in diameter or CA (Cruiser, Armored) Heavy Cruisers - Guns 8" or more and displacing more than 10000 tons.

 

And yes, all German Cruisers after tier 4 gets torpedoes. Either 2x3, 1x3 or 1x4 per side with the SAME STATS throughout.

The tier 4 torpedoes are the same as the tier 10 torpedoes. However, the launch angles are VERY comfortable.

CC is the designation for Battlecruiser. Iirc, all of the german if not most have torpedoes. Early USN CL ships have torpedoes. IJN CLs/CAs have torps.

More firepower or defense? To the first, German cruisers are one of the strongest, to the second, you're a cruiser. Your defense isn't about armor it's about positioning.

Having torpedoes doesn't mean you're lacking in firepower and defense.

ya they give u torps with useless teir 1 minus range for some reason.. i mean their usless the German side for a number of reasons. so q and a time!!!!

Q: what good are torps with a 6k rng or less. A: in case some one tries to ram you you may have a chance to save your self cause no ones gona close to 6 k range of a German ship for any other reason. Q: well how do u use them if every ones smart enough to stay away from you? A: you have to seek either an idot  or pray you can get to a choke point to use them or perhaps chase and close the distance. Q: is it possible to force a torp shot with a German cruiser? A: in my opinion no, with as little armor the Germans have combined with a trash hp pool, forcing a torp shot is impossible or at least suicide as all targets will turn away and just HE you to death as you try to close and turn broad side for a launch.. unless god smiles at you and your in the just right spot with just the right enemy, the only luck iv had with torps has been on my tirpiz as its got the armor and hp to make a shot.. and usually its against other bbs but rarely against any else.

I HOPE this helps and  i can only hope your experiences are better then mine as i always seem to draw the not so smart vs smart team and get trounced as of late.

German torps are more there as a plus than an actual advantage.

6km is workable in certain situation, great angles so your not totally obvious like the IJN. Launching them when the enemy is chasing you can work out if they are close, launching them into DD smoke can net free kills, around corners can do lots of damage through the number of torps, and as a last ditch resort if someone just pops up next to you, go down with a big fight.

 

The USN get no torps past tier 5 and they more or less pay for it in most cases, generally by having to turn first because there is nothing in getting closer than 5km other than death. The Cleveland the Des Moines have abnormal firepower which helps keep their damage totals up, but the rest generally lose out because even 1 torp is like 10km+ more damage on average, which just isn't made up by the USN Cruiser guns, which are average.

 

The RU tier 10 doesn't have torps, but then were talking about the biggest, largest cannons, and highest health and armor on a Cruiser. More like a BB Cruiser hybrid.

Got kraken with Kolberg that first one that gets torpedoes because of 3 torpedo kills.

All German cruisers past T4 have torpedoes; in fact, it is the SAME torpedo.  It makes it convenient for remembering their vital stats.  

 

You can do some fun things with them, and it makes other ships less eager to close with you (a tactical advantage in its own right).
