Do they turn straight for the target or do they somehow can calculate (or get data from ship if wireguided) it's speed/course and go towards the "meeting point"?
Not someone in the know but logic would say that they head straight for the target as sonar only gives a bearing but no course and speed. Sure, with the wire still attached, you can probably steer it but I would think the the difference in fuel usage between a curve or straight course during the terminal homing phase is probably going to be minimal
