Allied late war acoustic decoys

[3Jane]

Having viewd another thread regarding homing torpedos, I thought it might be worth asking if there is any modding / programing in the upcoming GWX for the allied towed niose makers, towed behind merchantmen in convoy, which as I understand it were designed to decoy German acoustic homing torpedos. I think they were called 'bosuns hammers'.

I had always thought that the german acoustic torpedoes (at least in SH3 and mods) were mostly to be used against fast movers as they don't seem to lock on slow targets... Did I miss something ?:o

Actually, it was named "Foxer".
