Tell us what values you entered for USET-95.

Search Subsim forum carefully. Amizaur wrote here two years ago that MPT-1 is an electric torpedo and he was rather very pessimistic about its real value. This type of propulsion, quite old design (work started in 1987), dwarfish dimensions (comparable with Mk46 chemical torp!) and this weapon origin as a part of mine or light Medvedka ASROC absolutely exclude possibility that MPT-1 could achieve 13 km range at 45 kts speed! Moreover there is no data about MPT-1 which describes its speed or range. Only those referring to dimensions, weight, seeker type and warhead are accessible.

Willy-nille I have just examined contemporary LWT designs myself and I opt for 45 kts at 8 km or 50 kts at 5-6 km at best.

I see. Well, some tradeoffs always take place...
