Do you have this version too ? Of course it has no advanced featrures, but the core of fuel and speed calculations can be moved to current doctrine.

Why 35 knots? Heck, even 40 might be low, 45 knots is usually sufficient to get an acquisition. Also, no matter how slow the torp is when it is enabled and searching, it would be a good thing if it accelerated as much as it could without washing out once it acquires a target.
