2 Weps questions - Sea Lance & Harpoon

Anyone know if in the original game version, did the Captor, Mk.50/54 all get launched from Helo/P3 with a parachute?

Seems I saw this somewhere before. I know I've seen real videos of the torpedoes being launched from the MH-60R Helo and had chutes on them..to keep them from hitting bottom etc.

The reason I'm asking is I tried launching them a few days ago in < 350 ft of water, from <500 ft. All sunk in the mud lol

Finally figure out I had to fly down to <150 ft before launching.

Kind of messed up having to do that seeing as how in the game a sub can surface and shoot SAMs in like 10 seconds or so which is completely impossible.. Ask me how I know lol
