Learn how to use Torpedo Bombers in Battlefield 1942 to sink ships effectively and understand their strengths and weaknesses.
Torpedo bombers are very similar to Dive Bombers, only they drop torpedoes instead of regular bombs.
How to Drop Torpedoes:
- Fly parallel (fixed by Jarret Peterson) to the water.
- Stay very close to the water.
- Drop the torpedo into the water towards the ship you want to hit.
Dropping a torpedo directly onto the ship rather than into the water at the ship does much less damage. With luck, you will hit the ship and do a large chunk of damage to it, more than regular bombs.
Torpedoes will kill infantry, but they are not as good as regular bombs. Often they will just throw the infantry around rather than kill them. You need a dead on hit, pretty much.
Aircraft Carriers and Battleships are the easiest to hit with torpedoes.
- Torpedo bombers are great at sinking ships if used right.

- Be aware that decent dogfighters eat them alive when caught.
- They have less firepower than fighters and are very weak at destroying other planes.
- Torpedoes don't work very well on infantry.
