How do torpedoes react to those catamaran hulls?

These guys are definitely the most badass missile boats in 3.10. TASM/Harpoon acquisition is compromised by the stealthy design (not impossible if you have a good solution though). Still, IR missiles like the Penguin and SLAM-ER will be more effective. Making matters worse, it has a bona fide CIWS with the AK-630, unlike most missile boats that just have manual 25mm guns. And it has chaff/flare launchers, which other boats in it's class usually don't have. Offensively, they pack 8 YJ-83 missiles, which is both quality and quantity.

And China has 70 of them.

I've set it up so that torps are still effective. The ASL is on the low side, so acquisition range is reduced for active homers. Passive homers won't have any problem acquiring, but at 36 knots this is a hard boat to catch up with. EDIT: Actually, torps are its achille's heel. It doesn't have sonar, so it wouldn't even know to run from the torpedo. MH60s should be able to kill 2 or 3 per sortie thanks to that.

Damn, those are beautiful. I'd love to play a mission featuring those.
