Torpedo distances travelled - LWAMI v3.07

Fearless · 02-20-07, 07:28 PM

Hi all,

Testing the 65 torpedo with the Akula at different depths and sea states to see how far they would travel before they'd cut out revealed that:

at max speed setting, distance travelled averaged 21.7nm
at 35kts speed setting, distance travelled averaged 24.3nm but when I set it
at 25kts, the 65 only reached average 18.8nm distance.

I would've thought at 25kts the distance would be much further :hmm:

Is it by chance that time and speed factors determine distance instead of just speed (fuel usage)? LWAMI 3.07 was used.
