My idea of taking over the Mk27 did not work because as far as I can tell the homing and wake characteristics are baked into the sh4.exe file and can't be modified without hacking it, which I am not going to do. However I did figure out how to use the german torpedo's on a US boat and have been working on modifying the T5 to perform like the Mk28. I choose the T5 because;
A) since it was the germans second homing torpedo to enter service and the mk28 was the americans second homing torpedo to enter service there homing performance should be similar. and
B) Since the T11 was an improved T5 as long as the T11 was made available the same time the T5 would have been available few would complain. Besides a user could always uninstall the Mk28 mod before running a U-Boat campaign.
So what I have done so far is to mod the T5 to have the same performance parameters as the Mk18 except for the lower speed of the Mk28 and to bump the straight run distance to 1000 yards (923m).
One thing I still need to figure out is how to replace the image/model of the german torpedo with the US torpedo as in the torpedo control room the german torpedo is shorter. This really does not effect anything but it would be good for completness.
But then again if nobody is interested and I am the only one who is going to use it there is not much point.

I believe there is interest in this, sometimes there is interest but lack of response, interest is shown once its released. I look forward to seeing the end result, hopefully someone can help you with replacing the image/model as it could be a little bit of an immersion killer.Would definitely be nice to have better homing torpedo(since Mark 28 did see limited service) for use in late war, I find the cutie mostly useless, Mark 28 could be a real help.
