I'm not a mod or weapons expert, but from what I just read the Mk37C looks like the best we can hope to do using these particular weapons playing 1968 missions and campaigns. After the upgrades they did it's not the worst weapon we could have, tho it tries to be.

Anyway, what about the other 1968 torp, the Mk17 I believe it is? That one is basically a WW2 leftover. Did we really use those things in our early nuke boats back in the 60's? How the heck did we hit anything especially a submerged sub?!? I would imagine they did some sort off mod to the torp as a stopgap until the Mk48 was developed. Curious to hear your thoughts.....

Thanks...
