Description
The G6c is a German 500 mm torpedo that entered service in 1911. Its propulsion mechanism is a wet heater, burning Decahydronaphthalene (decalin).
Vehicles equipped with this weapon
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
It is best to use this torpedo with 4 m depth setting, as its low TNT filler amount combined with low top speed, makes it useless against anything faster than a dreadnought. Keeping the 1 m depth will prevent it from damaging dreadnoughts as their torpedo protection is fairly effective against these torpedoes.
Pros and cons
Pros:
Cons:
- It is not fast enough to hit destroyers and cruisers, and does not carry enough TNT to destroy dreadnoughts
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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />.
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.
External links
Paste links to sources and external resources, such as:
- topic on the official game forum;
- other literature.
