How many defenders does it take to destroy a citidel torp?
Don't know, never personally tried. Here's a post about an attempt (actually I think COLSUP is going to try again soon) from our forums:

We wtfpwn'd the first 4 sections and arrived at the last section, after hammering the spawn we begain to fire on the battletower, which is where it all turner to **** LOL
this is the log of my scorps destructiion, plz remember that the shild resistance of the scorp was 87% thermal resistance, and a purgatory torpedo does thermal damage......
[ 2005.01.02 04:26:50 ] (combat) <color=0xffbbbb00>Your Inferno Torpedo I hits Serpentis Fleet Stronghold, doing 523.1 damage.
snip
[ 2005.01.02 04:29:39 ] (notify) Ship is out of control
[ 2005.01.02 04:29:40 ] (notify) Loading the Torpedo into the Missile Launcher; this will take approximately 10 seconds.
Now 1 of the ships that was with us (a apoc) got killed by 1 SINGLE torp /snip
So again, a way to negate these ubertorps o'death would be nice to know (if the angel complex is the same). Defenders I suspect would be too erratic, or it would have been done already.
The above log was me and my team ( bozl1n[CFI] dogznutz[CFI] gestra[SOLST] tzadekial[NAGA]) Yes 4 pilots

maximum respect to WLD and CLS. you can twist and turn it how you want but these guys know how to take dmg, Ghenghiz please tell us how?.
I am sure many of us are smart enough to figure out something similar but the fact remains that Ghenghiz and Cinnander have beaten us all to it.
It's amusing to me how some people in this thread are trying to discredit the work this ga
I take NOTHING from the pilots that completed the angels complex above, nor the IMP pilots that completed the serp version on TQ first, the attempt i led, and the formulating of the tactics used, was done on sisi, after about a month or reserch by myself (which im sure the angels guys can attest to is not easyily done)
The reason our attemt failed is that (and you can plainly see it in the log of my ship going b00m) is that it happened at the begining of FEBUARY, at the time making us completly unaware of the possibility of being hit by torps that damageing, because at the time im willing to bet that we the first to have ever been hit by 1 (with the exception of POSSIBLY at a pos) and as such we were completly unable to negate them.
The torps kill a unhardened ship in 1 hit, and the above tower fired on all 4 members of my gang at the same time, killing 2 of our ships in 1 hit, leaveing myself and tzad in the 2 point ships to die in only a matter of time.

I know by fact that on earlier test runs we have had incomming dmg of +- 8000. I cant be sure anymore who/what dealt them uber blows. I had hoped to find some kind of combat log on my hard drive to proof my words but was unable to but any pilot that has seen the last stage of the angels 10/10 for more then once can confirm this.
However on our following raids our tanking method rendered those threats to 0 so it's safe to say that what ever dmg an incomming projectile could have done that has no splash dmg ( wether it being 8000 or 800000 ) made absolutly no difference at all. Our tanking method renders that kind of incomming dmg to 0.
Every single pilot on our raid can confirm my words while I think the actual method used should only be for us to know.
SO basicly what I am saying is: I honestly dont remember a citadel torp although I do remeber hits of +- 8000 dmg on previous raids. But none of that matters. We can withstand anything they throw at us!!

Gratz m8, u did it first and beat me to it, you use the same meathod as we did back in FEBUARY however, im sure u agree that less is more with regards to numbers attempting it, and that way is indeed the ONLY way to do it
