The torpedo is (thankfully) still attached to one of the two enemy planes on the Ridge's starboard flank. it's when it's been launched that you hit the panic button and hope to god you can shoot down 250 kilograms of high explosive on a single-stage solid fuel booster.<br/><br/>An aerial torpedo is around 8 feet long, and is so heavy it takes up two rocket hardpoints. Needless to say, the fact that they're relatively slow-moving, need at least 300 metres flight distance to arm themselves, and are completely unarmoured are all good points for the guys playing 'catcher'. The bad points for the catcher have already been mentioned (read: BIG BOOM)
