Maybe I'm wrong, but I heard that wire is not only unrolling from the torpedo, but also from the submarine, to avoid the wire to be cut too easily with sub manoeuvers.
The 10-13 miles of torpedo wire shouldn't be affected, in this case, by sub runs.
All modifications mentionned looks fantastic !
But anyone could give an explanation why non electrical torps run slower at high depth, please ? |
The physics of the engine works off of pressure differential as it gets deeper the pressure increases lowering differential. IIRC
