Wired torps

[Bellman]

Extracted from Mods - LwAmi :

Would the quest for 'realism' be served by reducing the potential number of wire-guided torps that one is able to launch and control to 2 - 4 at any one time. The numerical ability implemented in Harpoon.(apparently)

Appart from the Chinese hybrid wired 'straight runners' I cannot find any confirmation of the reality of the DW system allowing 8 wired runners. Maybe this is a tricky area to discuss and I will stand corrected by those 'in the know'

Although the incidence of trawling large launch numbers seems to have waned from SC - potentialy the launcher can use wire techniques unlikely in real life.

There may be many good game software reasons why the doctrines cannot be adjusted. But if the player had to husband a launch of scarcer resources the challenge of the game would approach reality.
