Ah, So it's a feature then (lol). Seriously though thanks for a small history lesson in torpedoes. I've always suspected the game with GWX of not being as accurate as people make it out to be but I guess it's somewhat true. Very commendable of the guys to go the extra mile for the little details.

You mean the recognition manual? Not really so much advice as it just gives basic info about a ship type in question. See here:
