+The F5b weighs 752 kg (1,657 lb), and has a length of over 4.8 metres (15.7 feet). It also has a 200 kg explosive warhead which utilizes TNT explosive. When dropped, the motor will kick on and maintain a speed of 83 km/h (45 knots) which is quite fast for a World War II torpedo. However, it only has a range of 5 km (~3 mi) so players will need to get close to a ship to get a hit. Players should also note the specific launch parameters for a successful torpedo: -35 to 281 km/h (-21  to 174 mph) and -10 to 105 metres in altitude (-32 to 336 feet). The F5b travels at a shallow depth of one metre (3.2 feet). Overall, it's a relatively strong torpedo thanks to its large warhead and reasonable launch parameters.

+With a 200 kg TNT warhead, it will most definitely cripple a destroyer and destroy smaller ships. However, against cruisers and other big ships, it will be more difficult to take one out with only a single torpedo.
