Lufty have pointed out earlier that to be able to use SS-N-16/APR-3 effectively this weapon must land very close to its target. I must correct this: APR-3 must land closely but not too close to target! Why? In the last mission I launched SS-N-16 at my favourite Foxtrot-class test sub. The APR-3 torpedo dropped in the water and began to seach. Unfortunately after completing one circle my torpedo shut-down without acquiring any target. What's the matter? Having watched after action report I was shocked! My APR-3 couldn't find Foxtrot simply because...sub was all along INSIDE torpedo's searching circle!
Tough titty! :rotfl:
