No. SCS's wireguided 65cm torp is completely made up. The 65-76 is a real torpedo. |
Note that at present also 65-76 torpedo isn't realistic because it was withdrawn form service after "Kursk" accident. I am sure UGST torpedo isn't operational on Russians subs as well due to not completed development. So, if you want to be realistically accurate I am afraid you should play "Akula" with the same torps used on "Kilos". :rotfl:

Another thing is the addition of the new Chinese torpedo. Its welcome for gameplay but is there any, even unofficial or highly suspiciious, confirmation of it?
|
No, the Yu-8 is a speculative weapon. It's based on the idea that China has probably copied the USET or something like it and we just don't know about it yet.

Actually it is not true! I think Lufty was a seer here because just watch...
