I can understand losing the wire guidance from a gameplay standpoint but both weapons had it, so I'm not sure what's best there... Then again whatever decision is made can be modded the other way anyhow.

Yes, it's only reasonable. In the event of an actual war with the Soviet Union in the 1960s, I doubt the US Navy would've tolerated such a stark contrast in torpedo performance with its adversary.
Looks to me the Mk 37 is very much a "peacetime torpedo".
Thing is, would there be any restrictions to Mk 45 inventories? Anything to prevent it from completely replacing the Mk 37 in-game?
