lwo seahake torpedo hwt - Seahake Torpedo (HWT)... by PROTOCG

The Seahake is a new heavyweight torpedo developed for the German Navy, as a further update of DM2 torpedo which was released in 1976. Being the successor of the DM2A3, it will feature an electrical propulsion system and a fibre optic cable for torpedo guidance, which makes the torpedo ECM-resistant. This is the first torpedo ever to be guided by a fibre optic wire.

The weapon will have four batteries and will be able to achieve a maximum range of more than 27 nm (50 km) and a speed exceeding 50 kt (92,6 km/h). The torpedo will also be used as ROV for unmanned reconnaissance missions.

The torpedo has been ordered by the German Navy for its Type 212 submarines.

The weapon has a length of 6.6 m, although other shorter variants exist.

This medium resolution model was created in Maya 2008. All other variants are conversions and materials may have to be modified to achieve the desired surface look.
