Fusion Torpedo

"The Fusion Torpedo is a long range Explosive weapon with high damage, fueled by volatile charged particles."

General
The Fusion Torpedo is the most basic Torpedo weapon, designed to bombard enemies from afar.

It fires two slow-moving torpedos with a small spread, dealing extensive splash damage.

Advantages
Fusion Torpedoes have very long range. They are often used on battleships and destroyers in base attacks, the former also being used in fleet combat to kite other battleships.

Their large AoE causes devastating damage to opponents that are clustered together, especially when combined with AM Warheads. Sweep Launchers enable this weapon to almost guarantee a hit by covering a large area at once.

Disadvantages
Fusion Torpedoes are extremely heavy for their firepower, severely limiting their effectiveness on many low-end ships.

Fusion Torpedoes are very slow as well, allowing most hulls to dodge them without much effort. The torpedoes also have a difficult time catching up to fleeing enemies.

Fusion Torpedoes have a large minimum range, rendering ships equipped with this weapon helpless in close combat.

Trivia

 * The Fusion Torpedo was previously called the Plasma Torpedo.
 * Early in closed beta, due to complaints about this weapon being overpowered, its range and DPS were reduced while the tonnage increased; spread was also added. The severity of the change caused a backlash, but it was never reverted.
