Because of how gravity is modeled in SH3 it's quite likely that the torpedo would sink to the ocean floor after launch.

One possibility might be using the unguided aircraft rockets from GWX and attaching a homing attribute to them. Attaching this attribute to projectiles is quite easy for Silent Hunter 4. Not so sure about SH3.
I checked my SH3 for ordnance, but the rockets seem to be missing - when using SH3 editor the only type of ordnance I can use are bombs. Does anoyone of you have the same problem? In the GWX manual there are two kinds of rockets mentioned 3 inch and 5inch 'Holy Moses'. Was anyone of you ever on the recieving end of them?
