== Description ==
''Write an introduction to the article in 2-3 small paragraphs. Briefly tell us about the history of the development and combat using the weaponry and also about its features. Compile a list of air, ground, or naval vehicles that feature this weapon system in the game.''

=== Vehicles equipped with this weapon ===


* {{Specs-Link|it_battleship_andrea_doria}}

== General info ==
''Tell us about the tactical and technical characteristics of the torpedo.''

=== Effective damage ===
''Describe the type of damage produced by this type of torpedo (high explosive, splash damage, etc)''

=== Comparison with analogues ===
''Give a comparative description of torpedoes that have firepower equal to this weapon.''

== Usage in battles ==
''Describe situations when you would utilise this torpedo in-game (vehicle, pillbox, base, etc)''

=== Pros and cons ===
''Summarise and briefly evaluate the weaponry in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark pros and cons as a list.''

'''Pros:'''
*

'''Cons:'''

== History ==
''Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of the weapon in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: <nowiki>https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History</nowiki>) and add a link to it here using the <code>main</code> template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <code><nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki></code>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code>.''

== Media ==
''Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.''

== See also ==
''Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:''
* ''reference to the article about the variant of the weapon;''
* ''references to approximate analogues by other nations and research trees.''

 Being a typical 450 mm WW1 design, the Whitehead A 110/450 struggles in all key characteristics: the size of the warhead, speed, and range. With just 56 km/h for 4 km, it struggles to be anything but an emergency weapon, especially in Realistic Battles, where any ship would have ample of time to outrun or avoid the torpedo before the impact. With Torpedo Mode installed range increases to 6 km at the cost of decreasing speed down to only 47 km/h. It makes it more usable in Arcade Battles, though it's still one of the easier torpedoes to avoid.

-Having only 110 kg warhead, these torpedoes are survivable even by destroyers. More typical, larger targets have to be hit into the ammunition racks in order to ensure sinking.

-Compared to the other torpedoes, Whitehead A 110/450 has a rather small explosive filler, with just 110 kg TNT equivalent it's smaller than most of the aerial torpedoes, yet alone typical naval torpedoes. Additionally a very short range of just 4 kilometers and a slow speed compared to a majority of the torpedoes in the game.

-Nearest 450 mm, WW1-origin torpedoes would be [[R.G.F. Mark VI** (450 mm)]], [[C/06D (450 mm)]], [[Type 43 (450 mm)]], [[18 inch Type 38 No.2 B (450 mm)]] and [[Pattern 1912 (450 mm)]], all having about the same characteristics, making a different tradeoffs between the speed, range and the size of the explosive fillers.
