I am not one that looks much to the stats, but do read the fluff of guns a lot. Guided by this, I mounted an incapacitator and snac on a brand new bomber i had set up to try the torp. Luckily, I was told out of my misery before any fight popped out. If it hadn't been for the people who warned me of it's uselessness, I'd have brought this junk into battle.
My two cents to anti-powergaming, give those who go by the lore and not the juicing of the stats the chance to pick a right loadout by making descriptions match stats
