I haven't read too much into this. I remember in 688i when hunting teh Kuznetsov the Helix dropped and ASW torp on a false contact and it the KUz.
I wonder if light weight air dropped ASW torps do have some logic filter built in that prevents them going after target at depths above 8 metres considering the average draft of a warship and that any sub contact being prosecuted will do the smart thing and go deep. I guess it is in the realms of possibility. Then again I guess older toprs aren't so smart and maybe would go for surface targets.
Another question is what torps is this automatci and what torps does this need to be set by the operator?
