SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - Kashin out-turned all my torps (mk37)

So I am confused on this one. I was playing the single mission "Skirmish in the Denmark Straight" using a Sturgeon class sub.

I got within 5 KYD of a Kashin escort. I fired four mk37 torps at the Kashin. Two of the torps were wire guided. The other two were not. All four torps locked onto the Kashin but the Kashin kept turning in a circle. It kept out-turning the torps. Even the two I was guiding by wire could not catch it. I tried guiding the wire guided torps across the circle it was turning in but they still could not hit it. It eventually got away after the torps ran out of gas.

Is this realistic? Can a surface escort really out-turn an mk37?
