The forward travel, one dimension, is accounted for by the speed setting, thus 2-D control in this context would mean course and depth.

I am a native english speaker, and everytime I read anything about the TEST-71 (in English) I always interpreted what was written as course and depth control, with the other axis being the speed setting, which for reasons of context, may be available but not explicetly mentioned here.

So I think the TEST-71 definately has depth and course control on the wire, and probably has speed control on the wire as well.

In regards to the USET-80/Yu-8, the user has to input all the presets correctly. All the features mentioned here are actually implimented in the last version I sent you. The most interesting feature is the discrete invariable speed settings, 40kts or more preset speed to select top speed for the weapon, and 39kts or less to select slow speed for the weapon. The weapons will stay at that speed when launched, so if you want to fire a passive torpedo, you need to be sure to put the torpedo into low speed mode by setting the preset speed to any speed 39kts or lower.
