Don't forget that this is only a top 10. There are far more people in the world with internet access combined that there are Americans. Just don't feel so bitten. The Americans are just a rollmodel for all the other part of the world hates. And not undeserved I might add, but that is just my vision.

yep. i would imagine that the super torpedo would only be good against surface ships, would have trouble targeting subs that they cant here.

on the other hand, they only have inferior PASSIVE sonar. in sub warfare, anyone can hear ANYTHING with active sonar. the problem is you give yourself away. if you have superior range and effectiveness with your supercavitating torpedo, you dont need to care about your own stealth.

start actively pinging, find your targets, kill them. it could indeed revolutionize sub warfare.

oh, and to the rest of you: go start your own thread to ***** in, were talking about high tech ways to kill people here.

Now if we put a Tard on a Torp (wired to the Internet)ahh never mind!

I think something that fast would practically be a direct fire weapon. Most underwater combat is like at 7000 yards, is that like a mile or something? Anyway 200 miles per hour torp in 7000 yards would practially be like and underwater artillery shell. Quite an impressive weapon. Maybe to counter it we could use the HAARP array to make 'em all distracted and happy.

Come on, give me a single nationality with a higher number of people with internet access.

Anyway you put it, you are more likely to find Americans Online that any other nationality, and thus a higher number of morons.

This is simple math. If we say that there are 3 countries, A, B, and C, and A have 100 cars, and B and C have 10 cars each, and 1 out of 10 of these cars are broken, how many broken cars from each country are you going to find?

Let me tell you, you have a good point here. I know nothing of naval warfare, but what you say definitively makes sense.

With a long range, fast speed torpedo you could indeed go active sonar, find your target, fire away, and then turn off your active sonar and go back into the darkness.

Not even a top ten. Just ten of the higher ones picked at random.

There are things that make Active Sonar not work all the time. Temperature layers in the water cause the sound to bounce off the layer and not show anything below. Water will bend sound and for active sonar it is bent once for the trip out and again for the trip back. Some of this is predictable, some not. It works Great when you are close, but get a ways away and neyt.

This does not mean that a fast torpedo is not a great weapon. It is, and it is even more menacing when one side has it and the other doesn't (Much like some weapons in SEIV) IF only one side had it it could be a war winner (again much like SEIV).
