Or just use the mk45. The mk16 is obsolete and doesn't cut it in 1968 when everyone has sonar. The bubbles it gives off doesn't matter when everyone can hear it once its launched. The fact that you have to launch them shallow guarantees that it will be heard.

I enabled the mk45 through the configs and its a much better all around torpedo for 1968. It isn't perfect, the seeker is short ranged so it could be looking at a target and not detect it unless its very close, but its faster than the mk37, is homing unlike the mk16 and doesn't have to be launched at shallow depth.

I wouldn't call it mk45 easy, but its viable.
