Default Re: What\'s up with missles and torpedoes?

The speed-firepower trade off is consistent as in RL.
The further a missile/torp flies, the weaker the firepower.
The icbm is a missle that carries very little firepower, except the Nuke type.
Thus the torp having a better reload rate and a faster speed needs to be weaker in term of firepower.
The decision is for the user/player to choose between getting too close or fire from a distance.
Granted that the US is going into long/extreme-long range weapons, I say the long distance-weak firepower weapons is popular in RL.
