Guided torpedo

From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Jump to: navigation, search

Guided torpedoes are the second most common special type of Imperial torpedoes. Unlike regular torpedoes, they are telemetrically controlled from the carrier ship, allowing them to turn towards specific targets instead of moving blindly forward - an invaluable ability in battle.[1]

These torpedoes suffer from one flaw, however: the tight beam communication systems. As advanced as they are, it is still possible to jam them, effectively disabling the type's advantage, or even interfere with them and give false instructions to the torpedo. At times, this results in it turning at the allied ship.[1]
