I would strongly advice for you, to keep the values I set for min speed and ranges. I didn't take them from the air.
I have left these as you set them in the doctrines you sent me except when missing like with the Yu8 and the Mk54.

So, in point form:

1) Corrected for USET-80 and Yu-8 Remove the enable-speed change for the USET-80 and Yu-8 (so only the ADCAP, UGST, and LWT's will have this feature, and TEST-71 will have some wire-controlled speed functions as well). Also, I'm going to give them discrete speeds, one at their max speed, and one at their maxpassive speed. This will be set by chosing a speed setting closer to one of the discrete values or the other, so the torpedoes will always run at 50/45kts and 35kts. The Test-71 will share these discrete speeds as well, 25kts max passive speed and 40kts maximum speed, hey it's really old!.

2) I'll leave the max passive speed for the USET-80 and Yu-8 at 35. The Test-71 will share this 35kts speed in theory, but because of its speed settings will be limited to an effective maxpassive speed of 25kts, and the UGST, Mk50, and Mk54 will have maxpassive speeds of 40kts. I'm still not convinced about the ADCAP's max passive speed. If we are admittedly oversetting the old Russian torpedoes at 35kts (when they probably should be closer to 25-30kts, although this would make them in game terms more or less useless in passive mode), then I have no problem setting the ADCAP max passive speed at 45kts.

Remember that upgrade factor I was talking about... some things in the game are "juiced", but as long as this is consistently done and balanced in other areas, it would imbalance the game NOT to do it.

I've got my head SO far up DW's ass at this point, I'm smelling fresh air. So trust me for the time being.

Cheers,
David
