As for the dropped torpedoes, the homing ones did not work from the airplanes for whatever reason in a lot of tries, but someone did it... where is that confounded thread?... Can't find it real quick, but it was Rubini in SH3:




Hah! found the thread: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=197919

I'm not sure what all it takes to convert it to SH4 compatibility. Now, if you could get an AI ship / sub to shoot one of those, "modded" to go normal torp speed, who'd need 'proper' targeting?... Look-out!

That is awesome. Would be great if could implement that as FIDO into IJN campaign. Plenty of expletive laden rants would occur.
