WWII submarine torpedo 3, WWII submarine torpedo

are possible ...

The former uses voice-activated and magnetically controlled proximity fuses.

The latter is fused with a firing pin.

You're the new bird, there are two types of torpedo detonation, impact and permeability. The first one you mentioned is a magnetic firing. It should have been before 1942.

In the memoirs of the submarine commander of Nazi Germany, Dönitz, he gave a detailed account (ten days and twenty days). Before 1942, most of the torpedoes of the Nazi Navy's submarine brigades were magnetic. After 1942, it was all impact (magnetically unstable).

U571 was at the end of World War II. The torpedo grazed the hull, and the bevel was too large. Therefore there was no firing.

Give me extra points!!

It looks like a torpedo in the hunt, whether it's steam or electric, is going to hit and fire.

T-1: Range 6000 meters 44 knots 7500 meters 40 knots 12500 meters 30 knots, T-1 torpedoes at 400 to 1200 meters can ensure accurate hit targets, but because it is a steam torpedo, the enemy will take a serpentine evasion action after discovering it, so it is possible to hit crooked above 1200 meters.

T-2: Electric, the maximum range is only 1800 meters and 30 knots, but it is very smooth, and it is basically very sure to hit targets within the maximum range.

T-3: There are two types of T-3LUT and T-3FAT

LUT: Acoustically guided torpedo, which automatically tracks the nearest propeller noise after cruising 400 meters.

T-4: The first passive homing torpedo, guided by a simple noise detection device, designed for attacking ships.

T-5 Zaunkonig: for attacking escort ships in the convoy; T-5A for torpedo boats; T-5B is intended for submarines. (I'm the one who got the roundabout and got it).

You don't even have the most basic common sense. German torpedoes were first divided into two categories: G7 large thermodynamic torpedoes and E7 large thermodynamic torpedoes according to thermal and electric power. 7 means about 7 meters, in fact, it has reached the length of meters.

Calibers are all 533 mm. Then there are the different models of the G7 and E7 variants.

It is not uncommon for surface ships to use torpedoes in large quantities, from the Japanese Navy's attack on the Russian Pacific Fleet in the Russo-Japanese War to Japan's victory in the Battle of Tsushima. Therefore, Japan is also a naval power that attaches the most importance to the lightning strike capability of surface ships, and attaches great importance to it to an outrageous extent. We can see that the Japanese heavy cruisers in World War II have a very strong lightning strike ability, this phenomenon is very special, Japanese light cruisers and destroyers are not a problem, and there are even professional lightning cruisers such as the Kitakami, which can fire 50 93 torpedoes in a salvo.

The great victory in the Russo-Japanese War gave the Japanese nation great confidence to challenge the United States, and at the same time gave the Japanese a "invincible" tactical template for defeating the strong in naval warfare - that is, first rely on surprise attacks to disintegrate the opponent's relatively weak Pacific Fleet, and then induce the enemy's main fleet to fight a decisive battle, rely on rapid forces such as cruisers and destroyers to carry out large-scale lightning strikes in night battles, and then clean up the battlefield by battleships after dawn, and aircraft carriers chase and destroy the fleeing enemy. Then the first battle annihilated the enemy's main force, prompting the enemy to negotiate peace. It can be said that the equipment design and tactical training of the Japanese navy before World War II were all based on this model.

However, the Japanese completely miscalculated, which is to talk about the technical level of torpedoes in World War II, because there was no guidance device, the torpedoes of World War II could only be launched at a fixed angle, compared with the era of the Battle of Tsushima, its progress only increased the range and power, but the artillery ability and maneuverability of the battleships in World War II were not comparable to the past. German submarines generally fought at a distance of several hundred meters to ensure an effective hit, while it was not easy for surface ships to get close to several kilometers in the face of heavy artillery fire from the opponent's large warships. At the same time, the large-scale participation of aircraft carriers in the war has sent this kind of lightning strike in the imagination of the Japanese into the cold palace.

Poor Japanese for many years took oxygen torpedoes as"Secret**""Decisive weapon"

It is worth mentioning that at the end of the war, the Japanese "Huitian" torpedoes were very valuable and very suitable for the Japanese, but they were not put into large-scale use.

Destroyers in World War II often used torpedoes, and torpedo boats mainly used torpedo attacks. Japanese cruisers also often used torpedoes in night battles. Battleship torpedoes are absolutely brain-dead, the range accuracy of torpedoes is far inferior to that of naval guns, and the hit rate is extremely tragic.

Therefore, in battle, it is generally a formation to fire dozens of torpedoes in a salvo at a time after occupying a favorable position, and it is good to be able to hit one or two targets, even if it is a huge high-power torpedo as large as the Japanese 93 torpedo, it is very difficult to destroy it when it hits one.

On September 17, 1939, it was hit by two torpedoes by the German submarine U-29 southwest of England and sank within fifteen minutes. The sunken aircraft carrier USS Brave Courageous.
