With the rules out to built some "serious" wet-navy ships (two of them i already posted here  ) i had some thoughts about torpedoes.
The LRT and SRT with their swarmes of small rocketlike munition just don't deliver the "right" torpedoe feeling to me.
But on the other side i didn't want to invent a totally new sort of weapon, so i'm tinkering with torpedoe versions of the Thunderbolt-launchers.
Just giving them the same stats (like the LRM / LRT conversion) i'm thinking about a bonus of 1 for breaching for the Thunderbolt-5 and -10 and a bonus of 2 for the heavier ones.
I'm also considering to either give them the standard 6/12/18 range with +1 to hit or a move just like the teleoperated missiles with a speed of 6 for 3 turns.
What do you think?

I don't see why not, it does make sense that the same would be applied to them by some faction of the BT universe.

I would go with the +1 to hit instead of the move. I really do not need another thing to try and keep track of in a game.

I thought this over and i think you'r right Jade_Dragon.
If you have two dozen of that things in battle tracking the torps can be a nightmare

I'd also prefer the bonus to hit, but it could be fun to have underwater mines done like that. Independent torpedoplaces itself somewhere and attacks whenever there is a target in any adjecent hex.

The real life Mk. 48 ADCAP torpedo can do that. It goes into a very low speed holding pattern and then just sinks to the bottom when out of fuel.

In case of a torpedo of the thunderbolt size i could be easy to install something like fish a bladder. Pressuized gas flask + baloon that would hold the torpedo afloat and ready.
