The damage done to an enemy target is measured in two different ways, killing power and destructive power. On the graph killing power is in blue and destructive power (destroy) is colored red. The weapon powers are plotted against range.
Killing power is a measure of how deadly the weapon is to the crew of an enemy ship. If a crew is killed off the ship is rendered helpless and is captured.
The destructive power is a measure of how much damage can be done to the superstructure, engines and weapon systems of an enemy ship.
Every torpedo has a 65% chance of hitting its target.
