LuTII pattern version of TI G7a ("Lagenunahangiger Torpedo"). It was found that using 44Knots speed, overloads the engine, and therefore it wasn't recommended using the maximum speed shortest range torpedo configuration. The early models had a range of about 20% less than the standard values being specified of 6000m/44Kn, 8000m/40Kn, 14000/30Kn, being in fact of 7500m/40 Kn, and 12500/30Kn. Power output also changes, from 108hp/940U/min, 241hp/1270U/min, 300hp/1500U/min, to 255hp/1280U/min, and 350hp/1470U/min. The warhead being used is a Ka280, or Kc280 warhead, with 280Kg of Hexanite. Explosive charge was usually 60% trinotrotoluene + 40% hexanitrodyphenylamine, in various mixes:
	SW18:	50% TNT, 24% HND, 15% Aluminium.
	SW36:	67% TNT, 8% HND, 25% Aluminium.
	SW39:	45% TNT, 5% HND, 30% Amonium nitrate, 20% Aluminium.
	SW39a:	50% TNT, 10% HND, 5% Amonium nitrate, 35% Aluminium
		
Note: torpedo wake is much more visible at 40Kn, since the air consuption rises from 13.65atu at 30Kn, to 24.3atu at 40Kn.
