Even then many torpedoes change speed. They might search at one speed and then home at another, for example. One of the shortcomings of wargames is that we often use these sorts of numbers are exact measurements when in fact they're just rough estimates used to aid decision making. I think Red Storm Rising used to get around that problem by giving each torpedo so many units of fuel. Whatever... I don't think any of it matters that much. |
So you exchanged one set of problems for another. :p
In any case if REALISM is your goal then yes it matters how range is computed for weapons (based on speed, manouvering, depth, fuel consumption, etc...)
