This simple but powerful weapon system consists of a launch tube and a magazine usually carrying five standard Reaper-class torpedoes.

–In-Game Description


The Typhoon Reaper Launcher is a medium launcher for the Reaper-class Torpedo. It is the smaller version of the Cyclone Reaper Launcher.

Notes

The torpedoes that this launches keep the lateral momentum from the ship that fires them, meaning if you fire them while you are strafing the ship, they will have horizontal momentum that you need to compensate for while aiming. Some players find it useful to decelerate while flying directly towards the target (C + W) in order to nullify any relatively sideways movement. Reaper torpedoes have a 0.5 second arming time so firing at point blank will cause them to bounce, unpredictably.
