Thank you! I'm glad they helped. I never did make that air-dropped torpedoes video. I will say that air-dropped torpedoes require much more accuracy in their placement than submarine-based torpedoes. The lightweight torpedo seeker heads are not as powerful, so you really need to know the position of the submarine you're dropping against. You should be doing final localization with a DICASS (active) sonobuoy. You could maybe use the dipping sonar but at least with the DICASS you can move around to get into a better position for dropping. I always preferred trying to come up from behind the submarine with a torpedo set to SNAKE as I seemed to have difficulties using CIRCLE, but I don't have as much experience air-dropping torpedoes. If you're using RA, I think the lightweight torpedo seeker heads are even weaker, but I don't know for certain.
