[TEC] Question about Soviet torpedoes

FireDragon76 · 04-15-21, 01:21 AM

I got hold of the Soviet Waterways mod and tried that out. I know very little about Soviet naval history. Was it typical for WWII soviet torpedoes to have no gyroscopic guidance? The only way I can score a hit is by shooting a stationary target (auto targeting does nothing except show you a solution). The game has a table built in that I presume is used for knowing what angle to fire the torpedoes from.

In missions sneaking into a harbor, however, the lack of steerable torpedoes isn't a big problem. I just wanted to learn more about this (lack of gyro steering).
