To me torpedoes in general and across the board seem to bean unnecessary weapon system. You have Rapid missle launchers + cruise missles + torpedoes. Really the only good use is some stealth bomber fits. Both Rapid missles and Cruise missles far outperform torpedoes vs small targets when fitted for precision, as well as outperform on range and actual applied DPS. Exception being point blank large+ targets, and stealth bombers could have just used cruise launchers instead with a unique ammo.
In fact, I think whole torpedo line of weapons, if it is necessary, could have been far better and much more optimal if it was just cruise launchers + special ammo instead of a seperate weapon platform.
