This torpedo was still in use in British ships as late as 1983 and is probably still used today in other navies.

I need intel on how they set the giros on the british torpedoes if any ?

it seems they did , then I shouldn't set the turn angle on the .sim to 0

but maybe less than the US's 135 degrees ?

I am trying 20 degrees for now..
