OK - so that actually works ...... some torps head off at upto 10 deg variance from the intended direction by the AI gun controller ... and as such, lead the target. One problem is that not many of the fired shots do vary... so maybe to compensate we keep unrealistic reload times and ammo capacity to give the AI a chance to lob more torps at targets, with some of them actually being on target ?
I did also try reducing the shell speed in the torp launchers sim file - thinking this would cause the AI to train the barrel in advance of the target - but it changed nothing. Strange ... so does this mean the AI is completely unable to lead a target to compensate for shell / target speed ? I assume so.
