Enemy SET-65s seem to be wire guided?
Couple things......
First, I tend to see incoming enemy torpedoes visually in the water from a distance before I see them on the map. Is this the way it's meant to be? Seems kinda cheesy. Feel I should only be able to see what my sonar people hear. Second, I'm playing in the '68 campaign and these enemy torpedoes seem to be following me when I change course to avoid their base course and then acquisition cone before they go active. I thought SET-65s weren't wire-guided? But they ARE behaving like wire guided torpedoes!! Thoughts anyone? |

if they are changing course after the initial shot, it is a bug
in the game file, its says WireGuided=FALSE |

I've noticed this as well that the torpedoes are maneuvering. The only way this can be rationalized is that they may be using some kind of active / passive mode where by after transiting to activation point, it starts seeking passively before kicking into active for terminal homing. What kind of shoots this idea down is, I don't see it running a snake pattern, it runs straight and adapts to movements I make.
I'm not sure about wire-guidance though because I've seen this behavior from torps shot from subs that are running away (assuming AI units can lose their wires too?) or even dead.

"Active and passive torpedoes no longer home on sinking/sunk vessels"
AmI the only one upset about this? I loved using wrecks to deter torpedoes away from me, especially in my diesel boats |
